The annual start of ENNSTAL-CLASSIC is the Stoderzinken mountain classification. The drive is an event for every driver. Whether at the wheel of a vintage car or a modern automobile. For everyone the same worthwhile goals apply: the most splendid sun terrace of the vacation region Schladming Dachstein, the wonderful views over the Dachstein and the Tauern. The scent of alpine flowers is omnipresent. Possibilities for walks. Places to look and rest.

The ascent of the highest alpine road in Styria is a unique experience. Once at the top, the Stoderzinken innkeepers will spoil you with delicious specialities. The famous Friedenskircherl, which sticks to the rock like an eagle's nest, is just a 30-minute walk away. The ascent to the summit cross leads over a mountain pine path or over the Florasteig (only for experienced people). For the brave, you can also climb with climbing equipment via the Stoderzinken via ferrata garden to the summit cross.
