“Is it always something special for you?” asks presenter Werner Schmidbauer as he and Munich priest Rainer Maria Schießler reach the summit cross crowning the mountain in an episode of the Bavarian Television series “Summit Meeting.” I would like to offer his short but poignant answer to all who pause before this small sacred monument for reflection: “For me, the cross has always been a symbol of encouragement, of hope, of new beginnings, of life. That’s how my parents taught it to me…”

Magnificent views of the Hochschwab massif, Eisenerz Alps, Gesäusebere, Buchstein group and Hinterwildalpen

It is a beautiful panorama that you can experience here.

The Dürrenstein, at 1878 m high, is located in the UESCO World Heritage Site of the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area. The 11th stage of the Luchstrail leads from Göstling over the Dürrenstein to Lunz/See. It is a lonely mountain with a very long climb. There is the possibility of spending the night at the Ybbstalhütte to split up the long climb.

The incredible view is the true reward for the climb. If the visibility is good, you can see the Zirbitzkogel (border with Carinthia). Ötscher, Hochkar, Großer Priel, Hochtor, Eisenerzer Reichenstein and many more show themselves from their best side.

Great summit - in summer and in winter!

Beautiful summit cross - good footwear, which unfortunately is not the case for many hikers here, as many go up by train. However, the way to the summit is very rocky and rubble.
