Seinskopf and Friends

Published on 2023-05-29 by Michael Stanton

Really nice hike up the Seinskopf. I tried this hike a few years ago but got a terrible headache on the way up and returned sadly home after climbing up most of the steep forested ridge to the high country.

This time was better. From the Seinskopf, I stayed on the ridge crest to the Schafskehre, then by the summit of the Feldernkreuz before navigating some snow to get to the Schöttelkarspitze summit, which was busy with people coming from the Soiernhaus area. The snowy north face of the Soiernspitze looked quite impressive.

On the way down, I followed the traversing trail on the side of the ridge between the Seinskopf and the Schafskehre, then descended to the north on a trail that a sign down at the Felsenhüttl told me is called the Herzogsteig.

I was really happy to get water in a stream near there, very thirsty! There had been no water until this point. Continuing down, I hit a dirt road and followed it back to where I parked. A good day out, 1550 meters up and down.
