Hike to Schareck

We start at the “House of the Ibex” and walk about 260 m uphill along the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Then we turn left. The path is not difficult, but a bit steep. Now we follow the always well-marked trail towards Kasereck. We are surrounded by a colorful display of flowers, and several times we see an eagle circling high in the sky.

Shortly before Kasereck, we follow the signpost to the Tauernberg Hut. We cross the Glockner Road and continue hiking towards Schareck. Along the way, impressive information boards provide insights into the natural forces of this region. Soon, the mountain station of Schareck comes into view. We leave this on the left and continue climbing further up to the destination: the summit cross.

The views of the peaks and mountains of the Hohe Tauern are particularly impressive for those who take time on this hike to pause and let their gaze wander into the distance.
