The tower of the children's and bird experience world is currently being converted into a climbing paradise and is largely finished as of April 2026. Views are still possible during opening hours, but there are no more birds. Instead, there are great climbing walls! For more detailed information, please contact the municipality of Rechnitz: https://www.rechnitz.at/de/

The small sacred monument we encounter on the Geschriebenstein, in the form of a summit cross, is—besides the view it offers—perhaps also the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."

Some of the MTB routes are poorly signposted and are not marked on Komoot, for example, so memorize them well.
