    The Piestinger Cross on the Hohe Wand, right next to the Herrgottschnitzerhaus, towers impressively into the sky and offers a wonderful view. The ascent from Dreistetten often leads over the Einhornhöhle and the challenging Drobilsteig, which offers variety with a few ladders. Whether down the donkey path or with an extended loop - the tour is particularly popular, even with families with children. The cross itself was erected by the founders of the Herrgottschnitzerhaus in memory of fallen comrades who had accidents in the mountains. With a bit of luck, you can escape the fog in the valley here and enjoy the sun - a worthwhile rest stop after an exciting climb!

        From Dreistetten via the Einhornhöhle and over a few ladders up the Drobilsteig and down the Eselweg - one of our favorite routes with the children on the Hohe Wand!
