It wasn't just the walk to the Theresienwarte that made it taste so good. Someone simply knows what they're doing.

A pleasant rest area with an interesting history. "Snake's throat ball" is the colloquial term for an iron ball fired from an early type of artillery piece, the so-called "field serpent." These cannons were slender and long-barreled, resembling a snake, hence the name. The balls weighed 1 pound (approximately 5 cm in caliber).

Unfortunately, the ruins are closed, but on the Rainerweg there are beautiful views of the Helenental.

When we passed by, a few bottles of wine and a glass were waiting for the thirsty hiker (see photos). Nice idea. (If only we could be sure that some half-witted people hadn't played some disgusting prank with the already opened bottles...!)
