Here at the Teixl Chapel, next to whose entrance are frescoes of an angel on the right and left, and whose apse is dominated by a large crucifix, I would like to recommend to those lingering a short Easter thought from Christiane Völkel: „Our faith has been based for two thousand years on the certainty that God sent his Son and called us to eternal life through his suffering and resurrection. Or more concretely: We no longer need to fear our death, as the promise of resurrection applies to us, even if we can't really imagine it. This is precisely what connects the women and disciples at the tomb [back then] and us today: this faithful amazement!“

The final stretch of the paved driveway to Sternberg Church is a short, steep climb. From the hill and the church, there are fantastic views of the Karawanks, Villach, and the Drau Valley.
