The summit cross is not at the highest point, but it does offer a good view.

Great view over the pines to the Schneeberg and the surrounding mountains.

Very nice path, always along the water with several smaller waterfalls. There are many wooden bridges and also ramps and stairs. Entrance fee (I think 5€)

You can also enjoy the beautiful view from the Hausstein or explore the Myrateich with its water playground. The hiking trails are mostly easy to moderately difficult and are suitable for all age groups.

The Gaisstein is not easy to climb, it goes steeply uphill through rough terrain and the path is not always easy to spot. BUT: The view at the top makes up for all the effort - you can enjoy a wonderful all-round view.

In the municipality of Muggendorf in the Vienna Alps, the Myra Falls plunge down from a total height of 125 m. They have their origin in the Myrabach ...

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.” (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Great peak. Are "only" 1000 m, but feels much higher. On the way and on the summit you can see many ibexes.
