Vista point Regitzerspitz - Peak - hike or bike
loisl Says: The peak of the Regitzerspitz is more like a plattform, safely protected with a fence on the steep cliffside.As you can see it can also be done by mountain bike, riding up to the top is a bit challanging, because of some tricky steps on the top, try it!
