Short hike to the Eiskogel in Steinbach am Ziehberg

Anyone looking for a short hike to a summit is well advised to choose the Eiskogel in Steinbach am Ziehberg.

Anyone not yet familiar with the Eiskogel should definitely mark it down now. This hike is very short, with a brief ascent and a fantastic view right from the start. After about 30 minutes, you'll have reached the summit (starting from the car park).

This summit is therefore ideal as an after-work climb or hike for people who don't want to gain a lot of altitude. 😊

Anyone looking for a short, scenic hike in the Salzkammergut should definitely remember the Eiskogel. This tour is ideal, especially if you're short on time or simply want a leisurely stroll. 🤩
