08.02.2020 Short and very leisurely route through a beautiful forest, which is an ideal local recreation area in the immediate vicinity of Linz. The view of the mountains is unique – the entire Upper Austrian Alpine northern ridge is visible like a string of pearls. At the end of the route, you are greeted by three crosses at the summit – the distinctive new pilgrim cross and two simple small summit crosses.
