Description by the author

This hike of intermediate difficulty leads from the edge of Hochfilzen up onto the Buchensteinwand mountain (1,462 metres), the most beautiful vantage point in the Pillerseetal Valley. At the top of the mountain there is a huge crucifix measuring 30 metres in height and hollow inside, allowing visitors to climb up and enjoy the 360° view. En route lies the Hoametzl-Hütte, a charming alpine hut at 1,200 metres offering wonderful vistas of the Loferer and Leogang Rocky Mountains. The hut serves hearty local food and has a large play area for children. Next to the cross at the top of the mountain there is the Alpengasthof Buchensteinwand, another hut known for its strudels, dumplings and ice-cream creations.
The hike begins at the draglift in Oberwarming, a settlement forming part of Hochfilzen. Take the Tennweg road heading south and branch off to the right before continuing for a while to a farmstead called Untertenn. From there, either take the steep path at the signpost heading up through the forest and across the meadows, or take the "Kammbergweg" trail to the Hoametzl-Hütte. From the hut, keep walking uphill following the route of the Hochfilzen II lift, past the reservoir all the way to the top of the Buchensteinwand (1,462 metres) with its 30-metre-high cross at the summit and the Berggasthof Buchensteinwand nearby serving food and drink.
