The highest point in the Wels-Land district is on the Steindlberg at 513m. That's 9m higher than the famous Krailberg.

Coming from the south (vineyard), enter the forest, then turn left (do not go around the forest to the southwest, it will be difficult there), from the north (staffel) there are 2 steeper paths leading up, we used the left one around the outside, at the top it is then comfortably flat in the forest to the summit cross
