Just after the bend the climb starts through the forest and then arrives at the steeper part on the way to the Jakobskreuz Buchensteinwand.

After the strenuous ascent you can have a delicious meal and enjoy the view.
Furthermore, the subsequent fleet descent compensates for the strenuous ascent.

This truly impressive landmark, crowning the summit here in the Kitzbühel region, is arguably the largest accessible summit cross in the world. However, it is not dedicated to Christ, who, as the incarnate Son of God, took up the cross for our salvation, but to one of his disciples: James the Elder. In one of his catechesis, Pope Benedict XVI (who died in 2022) emphasized this. said of him:
"We can learn much from Saint James: the willingness to accept the Lord's call, even when he invites us to abandon the boat of our human securities; the enthusiasm to follow him on the paths he shows us, beyond all our illusory pretensions; the willingness to bear witness to him courageously, if necessary, even to the supreme sacrifice of life. Thus, James the Greater stands before us as an eloquent example of generous fidelity to Christ. He, who initially expressed through his mother the request to sit with his brother beside the Master in his kingdom, was the first to drink the cup of suffering, to share martyrdom with the Apostles." (Pope Benedict XVI)
