Climbing 'Bauernhochzeit' (Farmer's Wedding) on the Southeast Face of the Stangenwand is a quintessential multi-pitch alpine experience. Graded 5- (UIAA), this route offers a fantastic introduction to more sustained climbing in the Hochschwab region, combining enjoyable movement with stunning panoramic views. The route ascends solid limestone, presenting a varied challenge across its pitches. You can expect a delightful mix of friction slabs, engaging cracks, and occasional exposed sections that add to the alpine feel. While the technical difficulty is moderate (5-), the route requires good route-finding skills and a steady head for heights due to its alpine environment. Each pitch offers unique character, often leading climbers through natural lines and features characteristic of the Stangenwand. Reaching the summit ridge rewards you with breathtaking vistas of the surrounding peaks and valleys. 'Bauernhochzeit' is highly regarded as a true classic, providing a memorable and rewarding day out for climbers seeking a moderately challenging but immensely satisfying adventure in a beautiful mountain setting.
