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.

The snack station on the Zöttl organic farm serves popular cider and Brettljausen at the foot of the Lindau Wall. Sheep cheese, herb cheese, lamb, must and more come from our own production. The snack station is open from the beginning of April to the end of October.

03/04/2023 - The ascent partly on the Bußweg is exhausting but worth the effort. Some sins can be worked off. I chose the circular route to the upper chapel, but the length was 6.54 km. Personally, I find the paths through the forest very beautiful here, with a view of Waidhofen from the top.

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

The view of Waidhofen is simply indescribable, especially when the early morning mist is visible in the autumn. I will definitely look for a photo of it in my gallery. The chapel is also worth a visit in winter, as you can also get a good view from here.
