The Wieselstein is a mountain in the northern part of the Tennengebirge in the northern Limestone Alps in the Salzburg region .
location
The Wieselstein rises in the north of the Tennengebirge around 1800 meters above the Salzach - and Lammertal . The mountain drops to the west and north with steep cliffs into the valley of the Salzach, while to the east and south it merges flatter into the karst terrain of the extensive plateau of the Tennengebirge.
It consists of a total of three peaks: the southern Wieselstein , the highest at 2315 m , the middle Wieselstein ( 2300 m ⊙ ) and the northern Wieselstein ( 2188 m ⊙ ), a striking rock tower. All three are connected by an easy rock ridge, the Mittlere Wieselstein being the only one without a summit cross , but is climbed the most frequently.
Its three peaks offer wonderful views over the plateau and over to the Berchtesgaden Alps and out to the city of Salzburg . The border between Tennengau and Pongau runs over the ridge of the Wieselsteine, on the north side is the small Stefan-Schatzl-Hütte and on the south side the Leopold-Happisch-Haus .
Routes
Like most of the other mountains in the Tennengebirge, the Wieselstein is one of the easy-to-climb peaks that can be reached without climbing. For an ascent, however, surefootedness , a head for heights , good physical condition and alpine experience are necessary. Unexpected dangers, such as getting lost in fog or sudden storms, make the Tennengebirge a feared area among mountaineers. Even on beautiful summer days, the Wieselstein is not very popular, the climbs are simply too rough and long. In general, it can be said that the mountain is visited more often as a ski tour from Pass Lueg in winter than as a mountain tour in summer.
The routes are:
- From Scheffau am Tennengebirge , walking time: 6 hours, difference in altitude: 1,750 meters: a scenic, but strenuous route begins at the Gasthaus Lammerklause directly on the Lammertal main road . Via the Schatzl hut , path no. 212 steadily ascending past the Knallstein through various levels of vegetation until the Mittlere Wieselstein is reached. Marked throughout and not difficult to mountaineering.
- either from Pass Lueg , from Gasthaus Stegenwald , or from the Eisriesenwelt via Happisch-Haus , from there from the Schutzhaus walking time 2 hours, height difference 400 meters, on the marked trail no.212 northwards over karst and Schrofen terrain to the Mittlere Wieselstein, continuous marked
- from Werfenweng or Lungötz via the Dr.-Heinrich-Hackel-Hütte , then Tauernscharte and high plateau, long tour
One of the possible Tennengebirge crossings leads over the Wieselsteine.
