And of course, to enjoy the culinary classics of the region such as Kaspressknödelsuppe and Kaiserschmarren on the mountain, as they taste especially good there. And it's just getting better since the cable cars of the Leoganger Bergbahnen are in operation the entire fall until the start of the winter season, which makes it easy to reach the top.
