It's a bit off the main route, but easily accessible and offers a peaceful, natural atmosphere – perfect for a short rest or a moment of reflection. 🌲✝️ The cross symbolically marks the highest point of the Schlossberg and is surrounded by forest, giving the place a particularly peaceful atmosphere. It's not a spectacular viewpoint like the Luisenwarte, but a quiet, dignified spot surrounded by greenery.

Here you will find the "summit cross" of the Turmberg (750 m). An unmarked but beautiful little path leads to this spot. A few meters further on you can also catch a beautiful view of the ridge of the Hausruckwald forest.
