Hirschenkogel, Mountain summit at Semmering Pass, Austria
Located between Lower Austria and Styria, Hirschenkogel rises to 1,340 meters, offering views across the eastern Alps through its observation platform.
The mountain gained recognition after the construction of the Semmering railway in 1854, which transformed the region into a valued recreational destination.
The Liechtensteinhaus restaurant at the summit continues the Austrian tradition of mountain hospitality while serving regional specialties to visitors year-round.
An eight-person gondola provides access to the summit, where visitors find 14 kilometers of ski slopes in winter and extensive hiking trails in summer.
The forest ropes course spans an area equal to a soccer field, featuring a dining platform suspended in the treetops that seats six people.
