High tower, lots of steps, great view.

Open during the day. 1614 is the oldest date in the history of the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of the Snows. The veneration of the Mother of God was first documented in 1756. The statue of grace also dates from this period. Empress Maria Theresa donated a piece of the cross to the church, which is still in use today.

The tower of the Turk's fall collapsed. With it, the crescent moon at the top also fell into the depths (the district papers reported). Now the crescent could be found. GLEISSENFELD (ts/e_peinsipp). The Turk's Fall is a landmark that can be seen from afar for the nature park and the hiking area with historical significance. But recently part of the ruin, which was artificially created over 200 years ago, collapsed. Parts of the boulders rolled through the forest to the hiking trails that began in the valley. Now the long-lost crescent that sat at the top of the Turk's Fall Tower could be handed over to the community again.

A church was mentioned here as early as 1503 - in the Viennese Alps at the site of Kaltenegg, not far from Lichtenegg. In 1631, documents show a branch church dedicated to Radegundis and Oswald. In the centuries that followed, the church was both destroyed and renovated. When her family was spared the great stock market crash of 1872, a certain Antonia Winter had a church with two towers and a vicarage built out of gratitude. This made it possible to build a new building in the tradition of baroque pilgrimage churches. The patronage was taken over by the parish of Lichtenegg. Today, the sacred building in the Wilhelminian style - an architectural mix of classic and baroque - is a popular place of pilgrimage. Countless pilgrims come every year to the panoramic church at 850 m above sea level. Rax and Schneeberg form the picturesque backdrop.

Open on weekends and really worth seeing! https://www.burg-grimmenstein.at/ The castle is one of three former fortifications on the Kulmriegel, which dominates the Pittental. Like the other two weir systems, it was left to decay due to the roof tax and largely removed as building material. In the 1960s, it was repaired and partially rebuilt in the neo-romantic style using the walls that were still in ruins. After further deterioration, the new owner Markus Albero Grimmenstein has been restoring 90% of the facility himself since July 2014 without public funds/funds and has been opening it to the public since April 2016.

Small renovated castle with a short hike

Great view in all directions at a little over 900 m above sea level (incl. observation tower ;-) ...). Right next to the Kernstockwarte is the Hutwischhütte, where there is also a vending machine.

July 31, 2021 - The castle is impressive even from the outside. During a guided tour you can also get to know the inside of the castle, which is very interesting. The visit of the building, with the courtyards and the well-appointed interiors, is highly recommended.
