The Geißstein,[1] sometimes also called the Gaisstein,[2] is a mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps with a height of 2,366 m (AA) that straddles the border between the federal Austrian states of Tyrol and Salzburg.
This is the site of the 1,699 m high Bürgl Hut, one of the most important bases for climbing the mountain.
Another signed trail runs through the much steeper southeastern flank which is accessible from the Vogelalmgraben or from the 2,048 m high Schlaberstatt crossing to the north.
[3] The Geißstein may also be climbed in winter as part of a ski tour using the southwestern route from the Bürgl Hut.
In addition, festivals were supposed to have been celebrated On the Schlaberstatt at which even the Devil was to be found amongst the musicians.
