Description

The beautiful Russbachtal was captured by the medieval clearing shaft only in the 13th and 14th century. The legend explains the place name with the earlier that the poachers in the local brook washed the soot from their faces. The single-nave hall church to the Holy Cross (1856-1862) with a high altar (17 century) stands out for its striking tower.

Directions

From the Postalm, the path initially leads together with the Abtenauer Weg to the memorial cross on the Moosbergsattel and straight on, after about 2 km the trail (No. 33) to the Rinnbergalm (1239 m) branches off. From there we continue towards Russbach and then on the Sonnseit'nweg with 200 different medicinal herbs and protected orchids, past a Kneipp facility to Russbach.
