グロースヘーフラインの絶景の山頂・トップ5

"Is it always something special for you?" asks presenter Werner Schmidbauer, as he reaches the summit cross crowning the mountain with Munich pastor Rainer Maria Schießler in an episode of the Bavarian Television series "Gipfeltreffen" (Summit Meeting). I would like to offer his short but succinct answer for the consideration of all who linger before this small, sacred monument: "For me, the cross has always been a symbol of encouragement, hope, new beginnings, and life. That's how my parents taught it to me..."

The steep, sunny slopes of the Rohrbacher Kogel (Kogelberg) nature reserve are home to a very diverse range of flora and fauna due to their calcareous soil and favorable climatic conditions.

High observation tower, the difficult climb is rewarded with a beautiful view.

A scenic hike, not at all strenuous.

The tower has been there for more than a decade and is said to have been transferred from the former Iron Curtain to Sonnenberg, but it still does not appear on any map and is hardly mentioned in many hiking descriptions. Climbing the lookout, however, requires a head for heights, as the ladders are particularly steep and narrow, which puts many visitors off. The lookout is around 18m high.

Great view of the city all the way to Lake Neusiedl.

A control room with a sensational panoramic view!

A wonderful view from the Marzer Kogel towards Rosalia and today something in the haze - the Schneeberg.
