How to get there A good road (Nockalmstrasse) goes from nice little village of Ebene-Reichenau (1062m) to the Schiestelscharte/Glockenhütte (2027m) before descending to Sacklhütte (1519m). From here the road rises nicely in hairpins to the highest point of the road, which is this pass. From the west the climb starts properly at Innerkrems (1480m), but one could count Kremsbrücke (952m) as the starting point for an even longer climb. It is not too difficult with a maximum steepness around 12%.
Other comments The pass road is called the Nockalmstrasse and is a touristic road through a national park. It is quite nice in this area, especially up Glockenhütte where you pass a nice little lake and between the two high points. There are bars at both heights and one place inbetween. (Eisentalhöhe is really the mountaintop which you come near at the highest point.) See also Schiestelscharte/Glockenhütte.
