Quick question, since we're traveling with a dog, the Steinschloss hike is also described as a hike without cow contact, is that really true? :-)

In front of this summit cross that crowns the Frauenalpe, the following thoughts from Pope Francis may be helpful to one or another who lingers at the top after the climb: "In the resurrection of Christ, each of our destinies finds its place in the infinite horizon of eternity. Only from his death and resurrection can we be certain that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God [as the Apostle Paul writes in his letter to the Romans, chapter 8]. From this great hope comes every other glimmer of light with which we can overcome the trials and obstacles of life. And not only that: the Risen One also walks with us and becomes our companion, as with the disciples of Emmaus."
