A beautiful natural monument. Those with a certain amount of surefootedness can enjoy the unspoiled nature of the Lohnbach Falls, which are made up of stones, roots, and wooden steps.

In the rooms of the former monastery you can learn how to make soap and weave baskets. You can also buy these and other traditionally made products in the shop.

The rock is 5 m high, 7 m long and 3 m wide. It is a leaning granite block in the shape of a wobbly stone. The following story is told in town: When a company of French soldiers were quartered in Bad Traunstein in 1809, the soldiers made fun of the huge, but apparently only lightly resting block of stone. They made a bet with the population to collapse the block into the meadow. But the wobbly stone didn't move an inch. The French left in anger. From then on, the wobbly stone was called the “French stone”.
