JOHN THE BAPTIST (also called JOHN THE BAPTIST), to whom this mountain chapel is entrusted as a patron saint, is a man mentioned in the Bible at the very beginning of the New Testament, as he is half a year older than Jesus. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven. John is therefore considered his forerunner/paver in Christian theology. The Evangelist Luke writes: + "A voice calls in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord! Make straight his paths! (...) And all people will see the salvation of God." Saint John the Baptist has two commemoration days in the calendar of saints: that of his birth is on June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve; that of his beheading is on August 29.

Built in 1839 as a wooden viewing platform. Stephaninwarte, a former weather station Bought by the Styrian Mountain Association in 1880 and built in its current form. Owned by the Austrian Alpine Association since 2010 and freely accessible (during opening hours).

Always good for a rest.

The view of the gorge is very beautiful but not passable with larger dogs. Unfortunately we had to turn around!

Fabulous hike, well-signed, a few dicey spots here and there but overall a spectacular canyon with an unparalleled opportunity to experience it on wooden bridges and stairs

Unfortunately, the inn is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (as of April 2024) The hiking trail is very beautiful, sturdy shoes are recommended.

Large summit cross, great view. Very few tourists (April weekday)

On weekends many hikers visit the chapel on the way to Schöckl. The picture is correspondingly rare. But the all-round view of the Graz basin or over the Graz Almenland is breathtaking. 😊
