Hiking

The chapel at Sonnwendstein stands picturesquely right next to the summit cross, lending the highest point of the tour a special atmosphere. Surrounded by mountain meadows and offering breathtaking views of the Vienna Basin, the Rax Mountains, and the Schneeberg, it is a tranquil place to pause for a moment. Many hikers use the small chapel for a short rest before starting their return journey or to enjoy the view for a while longer.
