To the Top of the Gröbminger Kammspitze - elev. 2.139 m
Steep and long ascent to the tin-reinforced rocky crest of the Kammspitze above Gröbming.
After the farmsteads, a path branching off to the left takes us on a beautiful climb through the forest to a forestry road – along which we continue as far as the Säbelboden. The trail leading off to the right towards the Zirmel takes us initially through a hollow, then comes a steep stage below the Kranzbach Kogel to the ridgeline (1,712 m). Following the ridge, we come to a mountaintop known as the “Zirmel”. Things now become steadily steeper, we cross the northern flank, then make our way over rock (secured) to the summit. What makes this summit so unique is its wild, craggy crest, especially off to the west. But the views of Gröbming and the nearby Grimming are spectacular, as are those of the Tauern mountains. To the north, at a little lower elevation, lies the Viehbergalm and the small Miesbodensee, as well as the rocky alpine terrain of the land “Am Stein”. As for the hike back: either via the Zirmel, or experienced mountaineers might wish to scramble down the short chimney to the south, then hike through the many switchbacks on trail No. 677 as far as the trail crossing. We either make a left to the Säbelboden, then return along the same route we initially hiked up, or take No. 677 all the way back down to Gröbming.
