Kaiserau car park
From the Kaiserau (1130 m) to the Klinkehütte and further on to the Kaiblinggatterl on the Lahngangkogel (1778 m).

You can enjoy the beautiful summit panorama of the Niedere Tauern and the Northern Limestone Alps on the wooden bench next to the summit cross.

On the descent, the Wagenbänkalm invites you to stop for a bite to eat and rounds off the mountain experience perfectly. From here we continue our descent via the Gustl-Steig and the piste to the Kaiserau.

Sturdy hiking boots or good trekking shoes
Hiking backpack

You should also be well prepared for changeable weather.

Packing your backpack correctly makes things much easier:
Pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Everything you need frequently, such as sunglasses, your smartphone, or hiking map, should be packed on top.
You could also do the tour the other way around and spend the night in the Klinkehütte to climb the Kaibling the next day!
