Tips from the Community
The Masenberg at 1,262 m above sea level is the last high spur of the Central Alps towards the east. With its elongated mountain ridge, it separates the Vorau basin to the north and the Lafnitztal to the east.

An imposing church with a small park and resting places. I have to explore the interior another time... I didn't want to be the party pooper at the fair.

A beautiful wayside shrine here by the roadside. Directly opposite, you will also find some resting places.

Yes, it is a painting, but much more a relief. I liked it very much. Old walls and modern art - a perfect mix.

Worth seeing. Worth visiting. Worth hiking. I can't think of much more to say about this beautiful and imposing church here on the mountain. Except perhaps: The incredibly brilliant view.

Beautiful castle or church. From the outside and inside. Many photo opportunities. And those who have time can also visit the changing exhibition inside.

A beautifully landscaped park with many photo opportunities. From nature to art to the huge clock... and from the very top, you have a beautiful view of Pöllau with the Wallfahrtskirche in Pöllauberg in the background.

A beautiful castle between Klaffenau and Hartberg. While not in its best condition, in my opinion it has lost little to none of its imposing appearance. Although a sign by the roadside prohibits entry, taking photographs is perfectly acceptable.
