["Frischauf was an Austrian mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geodesist and alpinist...Starting with 1868, Frischauf pioneered the touristic development of the Sannthaler and Steiner Alps by opening ways and huts. The streets over the Paulitschsattel and the connection Sulzbach-Leutsch were built because of his initiatives. Together with Franz von Juraschek and Mathias Spreiz he was the first to climb the Admonter Reichenstein. Frischauf defended the view at a time of violent national conflicts, that alpinism should not be subordinated under nationalism or religion or political views. He participated in the foundation of the Croatian Mountaineering Association..." -wikipedia].
