Dachstein-Tauern East walking guide

<p>Dachstein and Tauern - these are terms that have always had a name among mountaineers and hikers. But they are also mountain groups full of contrasts: rugged, shining limestone walls above green meadows and dark forests as well as glaciers in the high region are what make the Dachstein mountains so special. Opposite it are the Schladminger Tauern mountains with their countless clear lakes and rushing waterfalls. Anyone who has experienced the beauty of this contrasting mountain world will rave about it and come back!</p> <p>The area covered by this Rother hiking guide extends from Radstadt via Schladming to Gröbming and from Obertauern to Filzmoos and into Ramsau am Dachstein. Sepp Brandl, certainly one of the most excellent experts on this mountain region, presents hikers with a total of 63 routes - from easy valley, hut and alpine pasture hikes to more challenging high mountain routes and multi-day crossings of the Schladminger Tauern. Not only does he provide precise route descriptions, he also conveys an excellent amount of enthusiasm with his texts and excellent color pictures, so that the "tour selection" almost becomes an "agony of choice".</p> <p>Exhaustive route descriptions, detailed map sections at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000 as well as informative elevation profiles make all tour suggestions easy and safe to follow. The color-coded difficulty rating makes it easier to select destinations and numerous color photos awaken the desire to hike. GPS tracks are available for download. <br></p><p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sepp Brandl | Bergverlag Rother | 9th edition 2015 | 192 pages | 128 color illustrations, 63 hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, 63 elevation profiles, two overview maps | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
