Sarstein, Mountain peak in Salzkammergut, Austria.
Description
Sarstein is a mountain peak located along the border between Upper Austria and Styria, featuring a long ridge with dramatic rock formations and steep sections. The terrain rises significantly with winding paths that cross through exposed rocky ground and technical passages.
History
The mountain has long served as a natural border between the two regions and has been crossed by generations of hikers. Over time the ridge became an established hiking route connecting communities throughout the Salzkammergut area.
Culture
Local residents maintain traditional Alpine hiking routes across Sarstein, connecting communities from Lake Hallstatt to Bad Aussee.
Practical
The route is long and tiring, with marked paths and some secured sections on steeper stretches. Good hiking boots and plenty of water are essential since there is little shade and weather can change quickly in the mountains.
