Base Camp - Walk from Base camp
Julia Bradshaw
I think it's called Tressenstein, will check in the morning with the
map. But if you're at Base Camp it's the hill you see (on the right) if
you look down the road (towards Bad Aussee) with the radio mast on top
(ungrammatical). Anyway, it's a nice walk with amazing views. If you
walk/cycle to the "Bad Aussee" town sign there are paths on the right,
you want path no. 19. The sign says 2 hours, it took me 1 1/2 hours
steady uphill (slowish compared to most) to the top. You can't really
see base camp or Grundlsee, but you do get utterly fantastic panoramic
views of Altaussee and Loser on one side and Bad Aussee on the other
side.
The path is signed. I took a couple of wrong turns but made it in the
end. Chickened out of climbing the mast but I bet you'd get a good view
of Grundlsee from there. If you're festering at base camp and 2 1/2 - 3
hours to spare walk up this hill!! It's rude not to! Seriously good
views, well worth the effort.
