From Gollinghutte, I started climbing once more in earnest, and after one other 4 km (2.5 mi), reached the summit of Greifenberg (2,618 m\/8,589 ft), the very best level on the Schladming Tauern High Trail.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80337\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?resize=860%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03270.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80338\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?resize=860%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03279.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80306\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?resize=860%2C560&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?resize=1024%2C667&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03285.jpg?resize=768%2C500&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80305\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?resize=860%2C573&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"860\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thehikinglife.com\/the-hiking-life-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC03293.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the summit cross of Greifenberg, the path descended steeply alongside a jagged ridgeline, quickly dropping into a shocking lake-dotted plateau generally known as Klafferkessel.
