Fraganter Schutzhaus
You can start your hike to the Fraganter Schutzhaus right outside your doorstep. From the Fraganter Schutzhaus (1,820 m) you can continue further and ascend the surrounding mountain peaks.
Kleiner and Hoher Sadnig
Start your hike directly from your doorstep to the Fraganter Schutzhaus and from there continue to the Sadnig peak at 2,750 m. The hike is mostly not difficult under good conditions, only the rocky ridge to the Kleiner Sadnig requires surefootedness. Due to the length of the tour the Fraganter Schutzhaus is ideal as a rest stop. It is open from early June to mid-October.
