ホッホフィルツェンのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

This incredibly imposing landmark, which crowns the summit here in the Kitzbühel region, is, according to its own claims, the largest accessible summit cross in the world. However, it is not dedicated to Christ, who, as the incarnate Son of God, took up the cross for the salvation of us all, but to one of his disciples: James the Greater. In one of his catecheses, Pope Benedict XVI (who died in 2022)... It was said of him: "From Saint James we can learn much: the readiness to accept the Lord's call, even when he asks us to leave the boat of our human securities; the enthusiasm to follow him on the paths he shows us, beyond all our illusory pretensions; the readiness to bear courageous witness for him, if need be, even to the ultimate sacrifice of life. Thus, James the Greater stands before us as an eloquent example of magnanimous fidelity to Christ. He, who initially, through his mother, had expressed the request to sit with his brother beside the Master in his kingdom, was the first to drink the cup of suffering, to share martyrdom with the Apostles." (Pope Benedict XVI)

A great place to stop for a rest. They serve delicious food and, of course, a variety of cold drinks.

The largest accessible summit cross in the world! Unfortunately out of service at the moment 🤔

Space to reflect and think,

The Jakobskreuz is a lookout tower and at the same time a walkable summit cross on the Buchensteinwand, a prominent mountain near Fieberbrunn in the Kitzbühel district in the Austrian state of Tyrol.

At 1,456 m, the Buchensteinwand rises up in the middle of the PillerseeTal and offers a wonderful panoramic view of the Kitzbühel Alps

At 1,456 meters, the Buchensteinwand rises up in the middle of the PillerseeTal and offers a wonderful panoramic view of the Kitzbühel Alps, the Wilder Kaiser, Hohe Tauern, Waidringer Steinplatte and the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge.

I think the Jakobskreuz is too futuristic and doesn't fit into the mountains.
