“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…”

"The Voralpe, or Voralm, is a mountain in the Ybbstal Alps in the border triangle of Lower Austria, Upper Austria, and Styria. The mountain has two main peaks: the 1,770 m (5,700 ft) high Stumpfmauer on the border between Lower Austria and Upper Austria, which drops steeply to the southeast; and further southwest, the 1,727 m (5,700 ft) high Tanzboden on the border between Lower Austria and Styria. The border triangle is located in the saddle between the peaks. The Stumpfmauer is the highest elevation in the Steyr-Land district. The Voralpe can be climbed from Hollenstein an der Ybbs or from Altenmarkt, partly via roads and partly via trails, in about three hours. The crossing from one peak to the other takes about 45 minutes. The Eisenwurzenweg (Austrian Long-Distance Hiking Trail 08) also leads over the Voralpe." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voralpe

The Mendlingtal adventure world in Göstling an der Ybbs is a fascinating excursion destination that combines nature, culture and history in a unique way. The theme trail "On the Timber Trail" is particularly exciting, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of traditional timber rafting and forestry. Along the trail, you can not only enjoy the impressive landscape of the Mendlingtal, but also experience first-hand how tree trunks used to be transported over the water.

It is a beautiful panorama that you can experience here.

The path through the Wasserlochklamm leads up past five waterfalls. The highlight is definitely the two-stage Schleierfall. Here the water plunges 67 meters down.

After heavy rainfall, the large waterfalls are magnificent in the Unesco Global Nature Park.

Super beautiful, breathtaking view! Here you can forget all your worries! Unfortunately it was very windy today and the Sahara dust obscured the view of the mountains.

Wonderful panoramic mountain, if it's not foggy. Easy to hike in any season.
