The king tour in Flachau to the Faulkogel 2654m.
Der Faulkogel zählt mit 2654m zu den höchsten Erhebungen der niederen Tauern. Für geübte Bergsteiger ist diese Tour ein einzigartiges Highlight. Ab der hinteren Marbachalm beginnt nach einer kurzen Aufwärmstrecke der Anstieg. Der intensive und anspruchsvolle Climb führt uns über Serpentinen-Pfade hoch zum Neukar. Seilsicherungen befinden sich immer wieder auf exponierten Stellen. Ein Highlight stellt auch der "Kamin" dar, eine Kletterpassage mit Seilsicherung - Trittsicherheit und Schindelfreiheit erforderlich! Am Gipfel angekommen genießt man eine bilderbuchhafte Aussicht auf die umliegende Bergwelt. Lokale Gegebenheiten beachten - bspw. befindet sich im Juli im Kamin oft noch Schnee, was das passieren erheblich erschwert.
