Austria View onto Kitzsteinhorn from Schmittenhöhe
This spot is on the Schmittenhöhe, and you can only see the Kitzsteinhorn from here on a clear day. Schmittenhöhe is a great place to spend the day hiking and enjoying Austrian lunch in a hut.
Photography Tips
I took this photo with my 100-500mm @500mm to get this close to the peak since its really far away from the Schmittenhöhe. Especially during a clear summer sunrise you will capture stunning colors on the mountain.
Travel Information
You have multiple options to get here. You can hike up, which takes about one hour. During operation hours (no sunrise), you can take the Schmittenhöhebahn or trassXpress to the area.
