Needle Eye Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

According to legend, if you crawl through the stone once, your wish will come true, provided you keep it to yourself.
So it's definitely worth it for everyone. You can read the entire legend on the plaque, including a special episode about the former carters. But to read it in full, you have to make the journey here.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The rest area with a view of Gießübel is by far a highlight. Very well maintained, very comfortable and the view is fantastic.

A real dream tour for Father's Day today.😉 In addition to many beautiful panoramas and natural highlights, we also met some very nice people. Wonderful area with numerous well-maintained rest areas and great paths. This dream tour is highly recommended.
@Wolfgang can you identify the boundary stone?
