세인트 에지덴 암 슈타인펠트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

Wonderful viewing point high above the Puchberg Basin.

... it's rare that there's a summit cross on a hill ;-)

Near the summit of Gösing, a shady picnic table invites you to take a leisurely rest. Surrounded by peaceful forest, this spot is ideal for a restorative break after the climb. The large table and bench offer ample space to comfortably rest or enjoy a light snack—perfect for hiking groups or families. Although there is no direct view from here, the spot scores points for its tranquility and pleasant atmosphere. Just a few minutes further, a viewing bench awaits with panoramic views and a summit book.

The Gösing, 898 meters high, lies northwest of Ternitz at the entrance to the Sierningtal Nature Park in the Gutenstein Alps. The summit is a quiet, shady spot with a beautiful summit cross and several rest areas, including two tables with benches – ideal for a relaxing break. While the summit itself doesn't offer a panoramic view, just a few minutes away is a viewing bench with a sweeping view and a summit book. Also nearby is the Neunkirchner Hütte, which is open year-round on weekends. The ascent to the Gösing can be easy or more challenging, depending on the route chosen; some trails include short climbing sections and beautiful views of the Schwarzatal Valley and the Schneeberg.

The Johannesbach Gorge, approximately 1 km long and up to 60 m deep, on the western edge of Würflach is a true natural gem and a popular destination – especially on hot summer days. The well-maintained trail, with numerous wooden walkways, steps, and bridges, leads through a wildly romantic gorge carved into the Wetterstein limestone by the Johannesbach stream over millennia. Along the way, you'll discover deep potholes, bowl-shaped depressions ("mills"), and, with a little attention, geological features such as the "Marientritt" (Marientritt). Two small caves – the Johannesbach Gorge Cave and the Klammwirt Cave – complete the experience. With a walk time of approximately 30 minutes, the gorge is also ideal for families with children. Those who like can dip their feet in the cool water or stop off at the Klammwirtin restaurant. The gorge is particularly atmospheric during the Advent market, when Austria's largest decorated Christmas tree is illuminated. If you want more, you can combine the gorge with hikes to the Schrattenstein castle ruins, along the Andreassteig or towards Grünbach.

The striking three-meter-high bear statue in front of the hut is a reference to the nearby bear cave, which is known for its numerous finds of cave bear bones. But the region has much more to offer: at an altitude of 1,023 meters, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view, homemade cider and the warm hospitality of the Postl family. The hut is open on weekends and public holidays during certain seasons and offers groups the opportunity to stay overnight. Guests praise not only the spectacular view, but also the good food and the popular cherry liqueur.

The summit cross at the terrain hut offers a fantastic view and invites you to take a rest.

The "Great Pulpit" on the Hohe Wand is an absolute highlight and a must for every visitor. It offers a breathtaking view and is a popular meeting place for hikers, climbers and nature lovers. The imposing summit cross towers over the landscape and gives the place a special atmosphere - particularly impressive with dark clouds in the background. Various routes lead up, including the Springlessteig and the Wagnersteig. Whether for a well-deserved rest, a good meal on the sunny terrace or just to unwind - you should take your time up here to enjoy the view to the fullest.
