Start of the hike to the Schöckl from the Schöcklkreuz parking lot

To the north, outside the municipality, lies this brick weather tower of Rinnegg. It is built in the form of a Romanesque tower made of natural stone masonry and has a history that can be traced back to the end of the 18th century. It was once used to ring the weather bells to ward off approaching storms. Its bells were probably also rung to drive away evil spirits and the Schöckl witches. "Trinity" of Weather Towers The relationship between this weather tower and two others is remarkable: On the flat hilltop south of Niederschöckl stands the weather tower, built in 1824, and the next one is the wooden one of Schaftalberg. Standing at approximately equal distances from each other, the three towers form an almost straight line.

Great thing in good weather

Wonderful chilling at the end

always a nice destination for a road bike trip from Graz

The view stretches far to the limestone wall of the Hochschwab

Nice photo spot for a short rest.
