  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This is the top of the mountain Hainzen 1639m.
There are two great views in both directions and a photogenic cross at the top.
From the view you can see several lakes but the most dominant one is Wolfgangsee. The other direction is Hallstätter See.

Photography Tips

To get the full view you eighter need a really wide angle lens or do a stitched panorama shot.

Travel Information

There is a cable car to the top of Katrin mountain. From there it is a medium hike of cca. 50 minutes to the top of Hainzen. There are many more great photo spots on the way. (7 lake hike).
For the whole hike you will need 3,5 hours but more time will be spend taking pictures.

If you don't use the cable car then you would need to make a much longer hike with 1 km altitude difference.

Because you are dependant on the operating hours of the cable car it is not possible (for me) to be there for sunrise/sunset. But i can imagine that it would be awesome :-)
