Great idea, a small hut right next to the Roman road 651. You can rest here under cover. The view is also very nice!

"Summit" located in the forest, which also offers a great view. Also the geographical center of the Mostviertel. Located along a hiking trail.

There's even a summit book at the Hamesberger Bergkreuz at 451 m :-) But the view is really nice and a little to the side at the end of the forest there is a shady place with table and benches, where you can take a short break.
