The Dachstein

World Heritage Site

"World Heritage" - a distinction that will be worn with pride by this mountain from now on. With its diverse landscapes, it has always been a source of fascination for mankind and, not without reason, is regarded as one of those unique mountain personalities: rugged crags towering above green alpine pastures, bizarre ridgelines, towers and mighty walls, glacial ice, limestone rock and remote high plateaus, virgin forests and scenic peaks, mysterious karst springs and mirror-like tarns, all leaving their distinctive stamp on and around the Dachstein.

Rugged rocky landscapes, green alpine pastures, mighty cliffs, glacier, limestone peaks, remote plateaus, untouched forests, picturesque mountain peaks and mysterious karst springs - these pictures characterize our KING DACHSTEIN TRAIL on and around the Dachstein.
