A shady and stable resting place here in the forest. This bench, unlike many others nearby, still looks new and stable :)

Perfect starting point for hikes in the area. And I don't think the maximum fee of 4,- for the whole day is too bad either.

A nice place to rest. Nearby, at the parking lot of the "Schnitzelwirt", you will find more benches.

When you hike up the steep, stony forest path here, the Way of the Cross seems almost perfectly fitting. I liked the small, lovely stations and sometimes you can also find seating here for a break.

A visit here is worthwhile for the view alone. The summit itself looks a bit unkempt and dated. The many empty "Lost Place" chapels do their part. During my tour, the summit cross was also missing, although the pedestal is still there. But never mind... just don't let it spoil your good mood and enjoy the view.
