This graveyard tells the tragic stories of Gesäuseberge, reminding you that you are in the midst of a vast mountainous landscape that is not only beautiful, but dangerous as well. Here rest those who have been surprised by thunderstorms, rockfalls or other unexpected forces of nature. Although the stories are sad, the place itself is peaceful, beautiful and a good place for a (last) view of Gesäuse.

Mountain biking

The mountaineering cemetery is the final resting place for many alpinists, but also a memorial for those who died in the mountains! For many mountain sports enthusiasts, a visit to Johnsbach is simply a must.

Hiking

This small cemetery tells the tragic stories of the mountain climbers who died in the Gesäuse. The stories are sad, but the place itself exudes a pleasant calm and offers you an impressive view of the surrounding mountains. The adjacent parish church is dedicated to St. Aegydius.
