    Hiking

    "Three crossbars like here on the Pfitschkopf are the typical feature of weather crosses. In earlier centuries they were set up by farmers who hoped for heavenly protection from lightning, storms and hailstorms (...)
    Times had changed completely when Otto Unterthurner built his first weather cross. [For] the people who want to set it up on the Pfitschkopf... hiking enthusiasts Fiffian-Vernuer, the mountains are pure pleasure. Nevertheless, in the collective memory they carry centuries-old traditions - memories of eras in which people were in a constant battle with nature."
    (Text source: Hans-Joachim Löwer in "Summit Crosses. Dreams, Triumphs, Tragedies")
