On the second stage of our tour we take the Austria Trail 612/601 + 617, a mountain trail that leads us ever closer to the Dachstein glacier. Slight gradients lead us over the Kesselwand, where we meet Stieglweg No. 612, which would lead us back to Gosau. However, we continue on path no. 612/601 + 617, which takes us over the large rubble heaps to the Rinderfeld. Here we are already above the tree line and have a beautiful view of the Hohe Tauern. On path 617 we walk uphill to the summit of Sulzenschneid and from there back downhill to the Sulzenhals. From here we walk along the Windlegerkar below the ridge to the so-called "Tor". Here we get a first impression of the destination of this stage - the Dachstein Südwandhütte. Now we cross the border between Salzburg and Styria. Up to the Torboden there are some serpentines and screes. We overcome the last small ascent of this stage and reach Schönbühel, where the Dachstein Südwandhütte also stands - the destination of our second stage.
