Explore the Reitsteig: A Hiking Experience at Untersberg
Embark on the Reitsteig, a wonderfully hiking trail that leads you safely and with moderate challenge to Untersberg. Start your adventure from the parking area in Glanegg and follow a path characterized by numerous steps but less steepness than the Dopplersteig.
