187 steps to "happiness". But in between, there are also resting places along the way up to catch your breath. The view at the top is really beautiful. Riegersburg, Geschriebenstein, Wechsel... everything is there. And of course, there's also a bench at the very top to take a break. I liked it.

A really ancient tree. Many branches are overgrown with moss, the trunk has an unusually thick bark. The huge roots are not entirely harmless. Unfortunately, I could not sense any of the strong power of this oak tree, apart from a mystical flair, although I am usually very receptive to such things.

Every time I go on the tour there is something new! I've now done the tour 7 times... But I'll never do the open day again! On the other hand, sardines have a lot of space... I would 100 times rather pay the entrance fee!
