Luther's Pulpit

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small path west of the castle leads to the Luther pulpit, from where you have a wonderful view of the Pittental and the Steinfeld.

The beech is one of the economically most important deciduous trees in Central Europe. It is a very productive tree species in almost all locations. A special feature is its high plasticity into old age, which results in its very long growth performance. A decline in growth performance is not to be expected.

Einsiedler Cave

Highlight • Cave

When you come back in the fall of the Turks, there is a small, steep path on the left towards Gleisenfeld. If you walk this one comes to the cave, actually more of a breakthrough. With a little skill you can climb up and walk through. Very nice view from here too.

Summit cross and viewpoint near Türkensturz

Highlight • Summit

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect “their” cross at this point. (...) These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has overcome death (...). The cross is part of our life as it was in the life of Jesus.
So I wish that many people … visit the crosses, whether as places of stillness and breathing space before God, whether as places for community gatherings, prayer and praise to God.”
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crossroads... small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")

Highlight • Castle

The Türkensturz is a designed system from the Romantic period and a wonderful vantage point. Here you like to linger and let your soul dangle.

Seebenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

July 31, 2021 - The castle is impressive even from the outside. During a guided tour you can also get to know the inside of the castle, which is very interesting. The visit of the building, with the courtyards and the well-appointed interiors, is highly recommended.
