The tour
Over the crest of the Freienstein a hike full of surprises opens up for us. Not many would expect this inconspicuous forest mountain to have a very attractive high trail running over its long, still forested ridge. Among other things, we cross a beautiful forest clearing with many flowers and tall grasses before we march between pines up to the summit. There a dreamlike place with deep views to both sides awaits us. But also the Schladminger Tauern and the Stoderzinken are photogenic in our field of vision.

Turn-by-turn directions
Our hike starts at the Assacher Tenne up to the Assacher Scharte. The route is the same as the Panorama Trail 100. Once we have reached the top of the saddle, we follow trail no. 679 to the east (right) over the Freienstein (1,279m) to the Kulmberg. Then we take the descent via the Kunagrünberg (Ackerlhof and Klemmerhof) to Kunagrün and from there we hike back to Assach on a field path. Note: The Freiensteing summit is only for experienced hikers with a head for heights!
