The Kopfkraxen mountain was developed at the same time as the Sonneck mountain and features well-secured Alpine climbing. Due to the somewhat long run outs and their total overall lengths, these tours are not to be underestimated. The following are two example tours. For more tours, see the "Alpin Wilder Kaiser” climbing guide by Markus Stadler (3rd edition Panico-Verlag 2021).

Hike to the Gruttenhütte with great views to the Ellmauer Halt and the entire region.

Admittedly, everything on the Blue Moon climbing tour revolves around the 5th pitch. It’s readily visible on the approach even without a telescope, though it’s as if this dihedral is from another galaxy! At the very least, its like something out of a picture book, stretching more than one and a quarter pitch lengths. While climbing, you might find yourself thinking: It's working! The plan! And the moon! But soon you’ll be doing your best Piaz impression, taking your shoulders to the limit while using the layback climbing technique! All the while you’ll be in awe of the climbing lines Mother Earth can create. Small wonder that this Blue Moon tour is so popular! In case the lead climber falls, the safety equipment is good, but not excellent. But what about the Blue Moon’s other eleven and three-quarter pitches? At the beginning, there is some searching for the right line. But towards the top, things really take off quickly. Between tufts of grass, there is some really fine and versatile limestone rock. It’s just how you’d imagine the perfect moon landing!

Hike across the Alpine pastures and shower in Kaiser water!
