Another short escape from Vienna lead as again to the region of the “Wiener Hausberge”. We had planned to climb through the Weichtalklamm – a canyon starting in the Höllental which separates the Rax from the Schneeberg, but this route was closed for forest works.

| Türkenbund-Lilie – Turk’s cap lily |
We decided to climb the Rax instead, which is accessible on many routes from easy to difficult. We took a path called Brandschneide which seemed to lead straight up, but gave us incredible views into the valley and over to Schneeberg, where we had been not long ago.
