    Tips

    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.

      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.

        The climb to the rock is worthwhile. From the top, you have a fantastic view of the town and the surrounding area.
