On the Rathsteig in Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt a head for heights and surefootedness are a must.
The trail starts at the Predigstuhl car park. The trail begins on the forest road behind the hotel. After a few hundred metres, the path climbs very steeply to the right through the forest. After a short time, the first steps and steel cables begin. Continue along a forest path over a forest track until you reach a saddle. Some steel cables lead you directly below the summit of the Predigstuhl.
A hiking trail then takes you back down to a forest road at the rear of the summit.
The trail also serves as a feeder route to various via ferratas.
In emergencies, call the mountain rescue service on 140!
