The summit cross is at least a little more impressive than the one on the Erhardhöhe. The summit cross on the Hohenberg can be reached via beautiful paths. There isn't much of a view as it is in the forest. The summit cross is a few meters from the hiking trail.

A beautiful place to rest with a heart bench, a cross and a wonderful view of the Schöckl summit.

The monument to Gustav Novy. At the end of the 19th century, the former spa doctor healed countless people who came from far away to St. Radegund. You can see the 20 meter high monument from afar as it rises above the treetops. I definitely recommend taking a break here. There are some benches. It's also worth taking a short detour to a nearby heart-shaped bench with a mountain cross.

This proud weather tower was built in 1987 as a replica of its predecessor from the 19th century. Its bell was rung when there was a threat of approaching storms. At this point you will also find toilets and a little further on a place to take a break with a great view.
