The short but very steep ascent is a challenge for every "cyclist". At the top you will be rewarded with a great view.

From Wikipedia:

Parish Church of Saint James the Elder

The church is Romanesque and was built in the 9th or 10th century. In the 15th century it was Gothicized into a two-aisled nave and expanded in 1758 with a baroque choir. The high altar and pulpit also date from this period. Roman stones are walled in on the outside.

Rectory

Opposite the church is the current rectory, which used to be a schoolhouse. In 1878 the famous Carinthian master of woodcuts and fresco painter Switbert Lobisser (as Leo Lobisser) was born there; the fresco on the outside wall of the church comes from him.

The old castle-like rectory is on the north side of the steep slope. The church and rectory received a fortification in the 15th century, of which there are still considerable remains with a round tower. The many tunnels in the surrounding forests go back to a mining operation in the Middle Ages.
