The myth of the varied three-country crusing around the picture-book-like limestone massif is captivating.

Myths come to life on this route. Whether around the legendary mountain passes and primeval salt worlds, the historical places and lightning blue mountain lakes or around legends and stories that entwine themselves around the mountains. It is the most varied route on the tracks of the ENNSTAL-CLASSIC. An illustrated book could be filled in a single day with views of the summit alone, which reveal themselves all around, towards the summit triumvirate (2995m) and the snow-white glacier roof glistening far into the distance.
