From the Preiner Wand, an impressive view opens up over the Rax Plateau, the deeply incised valleys, and all the way to the Vienna Basin. The steep cliffs make this one of the most spectacular vantage points in the region. A place that truly showcases the character of the Rax and is a definite invitation to linger.
