Hiking

From 980 m above sea level you can enjoy a wonderful view. So the climb is worth it. Attention, the last piece needs some "climbing resistance" and cannot be done by everyone. Good shoes are an advantage on the large, smooth stone blocks.

Mountain biking

no steep ascent, but a nice panoramic view and an interesting descent direction cemetery, here are in the middle of the lawn beds, chairs, tables and invite you to linger :-)

Hiking

The quarry stone consists of large granite blocks. At the top there is an observation deck with a beautiful view of Bad Traunstein. There is a herb garden directly below.
