Tips from the Community
Here at the Teixl Chapel, next to whose entrance are frescoes of an angel on the right and left, and whose apse is dominated by a large crucifix, I would like to recommend to those lingering a short Easter thought from Christiane Völkel: „Our faith has been based for two thousand years on the certainty that God sent his Son and called us to eternal life through his suffering and resurrection. Or more concretely: We no longer need to fear our death, as the promise of resurrection applies to us, even if we can't really imagine it. This is precisely what connects the women and disciples at the tomb [back then] and us today: this faithful amazement!“

This beautiful little chapel is located between Lake Wörthersee and the Pyramidenkogel.

There are difficult sections before and after the Trattnigteich pond, which, in my opinion, are incorrectly classified as S1 and are easily equivalent to S2. So, be careful, good technique is required. I dropped out.

On the Kathreinkogel, huts of various dimensions were found wherever natural depressions in the steep slopes provided absolute protection from the wind. A remarkable farm site dating to the 12th/11th century BC was uncovered on a western slope terrace. The most important find is a prehistoric vertical loom.

Signpost The Kathreinkogel lies between Schiefling am Wörthersee and St. Egyden an der Drau. From the Kreuzwirt parking lot, it's about a 30-minute walk to the summit plateau.

At the summit of Kathreinkogel, you'll find not only an old church and archaeological excavations, but also Austria's only wishing tree. Prepare your very own wish at home. Please bring a small wooden plaque with a matching string and simply hang it on the tree. The wind will carry your heart's desire out into the world, where it may come true! Take a moment to rest on the bench at the nearby lookout point, enjoy the view, and draw strength from this wonderful place.
