THE SAUKARFUNKTEL
(2.028m)
The Poet reminds the Benevolent Queen again and again not to waste her talents, but to be creative and artistic. As life is all about leaving a trace. How you do achieve this is very individual: some can paint, some write, and others play an instrument or cultivate beautiful gardens. With the help of the Poet the Queen recognises, that it’s a totally uplifting feeling to live out one’s talents.
The Poet and the Salzburger Summit Game
The Poet doesn’t allow excuses such as “I haven’t got time for that“ or “I’ll do that at a later date”. He wants us to create small islands of time in our everyday life for the really beautiful things in life. He challenges us to continue writing our own individual “life map”. Without regard of the expectations of others.
Specialities of the Saukarfunktel
The summit of the Saukarfunktel is a pyramid of stone and rock: the mountain’s name comes from the iron-rich rock, which sprays sparks during lightning. Around the summit there are large blocks of stone which make fantastic picnic spots.
The ritual on the Saukarfunktel
The ritual on the Saukarfunktel is all about rediscovering one’s own talents. As, in order to lead a fulfilled life, we should do as much as possible of what we enjoy doing most and what we can do really well.

The Salzburger Summit Game
at a glance
The Salzburger Summit Game invites you to conquer the seven peaks of the Salzburger Sportwelt by yourself. You can purchase the “starter pack“ consisting of drinking cup, tour book and hiking map in the local Tourist Offices: the tour book includes interesting information about all the summits plus thoughts for along the way. It provides space for personal entries too. At all the summits you’ll find a summit book, in which you can leave a personal entry and where you‘ll find the ritual.
All resorts of the Salzburger Sportwelt are part of the Salzburger Summit Game: that is the resorts of Eben, Filzmoos, Radstadt, Flachau, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Wagrain-Kleinarl and St. Johann in Salzburg. You can purchase the “starter packs“ for the Salzburger Summit Game from the Tourist Offices in all of these resorts.
Die „Wohlwollende Königin und ihre Edelmänner“ waren einst eine mächtige Herrscherin und ihre weisen Berater. Mittlerweile längst versteinert, erinnert heute die sieben Berge Bischofsmütze, Penkkopf, Hochgründeck, Saukarfunktel, Gerzkopf, Rossbrand und Lackenkogel an die Legende.
The tours are all easy to medium difficult and can be undertaken by adults as well as children. There are no climbing passages or exposed spots.
For each summit a ritual has been concepted around the peculiarities of the Queen, the Noblemen and their messages to us human beings. Thus, for example, the Bearer of Secret’s ritual concerns our most secret wishes, the Poet’s ritual concerns our talents and the Magician’s ritual is all about leaving your comfort zone. The rituals should be taken as an invitation or inspiration and are not obligatory.
