Spectacular climbs and magnificent views

This challenging hike begins above the Weizklamm in Naas and offers wonderful views.

The hike leads over steep and, in places, pathless terrain along the Jägersteig trail and then continues on to the Patscha.
Since the trails are not marked throughout, it is recommended to complete the hike using OutdoorActive.
Already at the Patschasattel, you’ll enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Passail and Weiz.
From there, the trail continues to the Patscha summit, where you can enjoy the snack you brought along.
