Due to the length of the tour, it is recommended to split the hike over two days and combine it with an overnight stay (e.g. Mountain hut Regensburgerhütte).

Impressive mountain tour in the fantastic scenery of the Geisler Group. The tour includes two moderately difficult sections, the Roa Scharte and the Pana Scharte, and is otherwise completely problem-free.
