    Wayside shrine with St. Nicholas (typically located on the upper St. Nicholas Day).

    On December 6th, a popular hiking destination, from which even daredevils can later make their way home through the night with torches and flashlights.

    Hiking

    [from the RNZ of December 6th, 2021]: (...) The wayside shrine on Oberer St. Nikolausweg dates back to 1747: Lightning struck exactly where a forester had sheltered. The forester attributed the fact that he was miraculously spared to Saint Nicholas; in gratitude he donated the shrine. It was later vandalized. A soldier who had returned home safely from World War II fulfilled a vow and had the wayside shrine restored.

    Related to this is the resting bench opposite the statue, into which a lightning bolt was incorporated as a backrest.
