Overview
The Grießkareck is a wonderful mountain between the Kleinarl valley and the Flachau valley. It can be reached from both sides. You reach the summit via mountain pastures and some rocks before the summit. From the summit with the big summit cross you have a wonderful view to all sides.In the North you can see the mountain massif of Hochkönig, in the East you can see the Dachstein massif and Bischofsmütze, in the South you can see the Ankogel massif and in the South you have a wonderful view to Großglockner area with Großglockner, Hohe Dock, Großes Wiesbachhorn etc.
The mountain can be done at the normal route by secure hikers free from giddiness. In the South wall there are difficult climbing possibilities, but the rock is not the best.
