An Overlooked Rock Throne in the KremstalDespite its significance as a vantage point and former Celtic settlement, the Schanzriedel is a surprisingly quiet destination. We visit the rock summit during a hike from Senftenberg to Senftenbergeramt.

Rock Pulpits above the KremstalFor those familiar with the climbing scene in the Wachau region, the Gamswand near Senftenberg is surely a known name. The mighty tower-shaped rock obelisk gives the lower Kremstal a wild-romantic, almost alpine character. From Droß, the upper edge of the rock face, the Gamshöhe, and via an unmarked hunting trail, the battlement of the Schanzriedel – an old Celtic settlement – which rises further north, can easily be visited.
