Schäfler

The Schäfler mountain reaches an elevation of 1924 meters, featuring vertical limestone towers and multiple viewpoints across the northern Alpstein chain.

The mountain has served as a vital navigation point for local communities since the establishment of the first mountain hut during the early Alpine exploration period.

The mountain region maintains traditional Alpine customs, including seasonal cattle drives and mountain church services that connect local communities.

Visitors can reach Schäfler via the Wasserauen-Ebenalp cable car, followed by a moderate 1.5-hour hike along marked trails to the mountain hut.

The mountain features a specific geological formation where limestone layers create natural terraces, forming distinctive horizontal lines across its northern face.
