The Baumgartnerweg on the Hochschwab's south face is a true classic, renowned for its accessibility and stunning alpine environment. Graded III, it presents a delightful multi-pitch climb that combines easy rock sections with exposed scrambling, making it an ideal route for those developing their alpine climbing skills or seeking a less technically demanding yet highly rewarding day in the mountains. While the climbing itself is moderate, the route offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Hochschwab massif and the Styrian landscape. It's typically a full-day endeavor, including a considerable approach and descent, but the quality of the limestone and the majestic surroundings make the Baumgartnerweg an unforgettable experience for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Austrian Alps.
