Daraus erwuchs das vorliegende Standardwerk, "der erste Versuch einer Gesamtdarstellung der Ostalpen aus eigener Anschauung. Für Wanderer und Alpinisten bestimmt, wird die Naturlandschaft erstmals einschließlich der Höhenzone dargestellt, werden Bergfahrten und Übergänge beschrieben und landeskundliche Gegebenheiten vermerkt. Das heute auch alpinhistorisch ergiebige Werk trug wesentlich zur touristischen und alpinistischen Erschließung der Alpen bei und verbesserte die Kenntnis der alpinen Topographie entscheidend. Mit seinen Reisen und Schriften wurde Schaubach zum Pionier der Alpingeographie und des Ostalpenbergsteigens" (NDB). - Einbände berieben.
