What comes across my mind concerning Schober Group:
Schober Group has 53 mountains higher than 3000m. Only few mountains have easy ascents, many main mountains demand climbing skills in loose but exposed rocks and are not climbed often. Because of these difficulties author Lieselotte Buchenauer named the Schober Group as “Western Alps of the little man”. Very nice to do is a hiking round trip through the group from hut to hut with climbing some of the easier summits. I did so some years ago. Some of these marked routes also demand alpinistic skills and good (free of snow) conditions (esp. between Wangenitzsee, Nossberger and Elberfelder hut)
Most detailed german guidebook is:
Walter Mair, Schobergruppe, Bergverlag Rother Muenchen, 1979, ISBN 3 7633 1222 6, out of print
Do you need more info about Schnuerer or Korbaj?
What about building a section for pictures of the lakes? – I would contribute some after scanning
Thanks for your vote(s) - on this page and others. Yes, go to Schober group. Hochschober is great because of its glacier, I believe some other high peaks are also fine in certain times of the season (in high summer they could be a bit boring), and the group is fine in winter too.
We were sleeping in the Gössnitzkopf Biwak on 10 Aug, 2010. It was in very bad condition. The door was fallen down, substituted by a PE foil. We tried to mount back the door, but I think the next storm will rip it down again. All the mats and blankets were rotted and collected into a huge bag prepared to take away by helicopter, which means that maybe within a few days or weeks there will be new ones.
