ベールンコップのおすすめツーリングルート

The climb to the rock is worthwhile. From the top, you have a fantastic view of the town and the surrounding area.

A remarkable stone located right next to the road. Access is easy and possible at any time.

In the rooms of the former monastery you can learn how to make soap and weave baskets. You can also buy these and other traditionally made products in the shop.

Indescribable view with blue sky.

The rock is 5 m high, 7 m long and 3 m wide. It is a leaning granite block in the shape of a wobbly stone. The following story is told in town: When a company of French soldiers were quartered in Bad Traunstein in 1809, the soldiers made fun of the huge, but apparently only lightly resting block of stone. They made a bet with the population to collapse the block into the meadow. But the wobbly stone didn't move an inch. The French left in anger. From then on, the wobbly stone was called the “French stone”.

Josef Elter, born in Kernei, Batschka in 1926, was pastor of Bad Traunstein from 1957 until his death in 1997. 1959 - 1962 he and the population built the modern parish church of Traunstein. From 1967 he created sculptures in stone and wood, as well as woodcuts. The focus of his work was the search for the reduced form with great universal expression. His works can be viewed in the Josef Elter exhibition center (built in 1992), which he planned and built. http://www.josef-elter.info/index2.php
