Tips from the Community
In 2021, the Austrian Alpine Club honored the 100th birthday of Reinhold Stecher, Bishop of Innsbruck, with a special campaign. A total of four different quotes from the beloved spiritual leader, who throughout his life was closely connected to the mountains and nature – in which he saw God's creation – were written on iron plaques in a limited edition and given away for donations. The "Dunkelsteiner Wald" landscape, marked as a highlight in the komoot system, is in my opinion well suited to recall one of the quotes selected for the anniversary: "Silence is the invitation to deeper humanity."

You float along a top cycle path towards the power plant. You only realize the size when you are there.

The Bildstock (created around 1629), of exceptional height, stands at the exit of Paudorf towards Kleinwien on the Zellerweg. A brick pillar rests on a prismatic base and, above a wide, richly articulated cornice, carries a tabernacle with four round-arched niches between small corner pillars. On the roadside, there is a small square niche that was added later. The tiled roof bears a richly decorated iron cross.

Göttweig Abbey is often called the "Austrian Montecassino" - and as soon as you stand in front of it, you understand why. It sits majestically on a 422-meter-high hill on the eastern edge of the Wachau, directly opposite Krems and Mautern. The abbey, as we see it today, is the result of a gigantic reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1718. The famous architect Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt (who also designed the Belvedere Palace in Vienna) planned a huge, palace-like complex. Due to a lack of funds, however, only about two-thirds of the original plan was completed - which does not make the complex any less impressive.
