Description: According to legend, Mühlsteinboden was a witch mountain. Bad weather is said to have showered hail every year until a pious farmer put a cross there. Today there is a small pilgrimage church there at 1,544 m above sea level. Locals and guests alike confirm that this is still a special place of power today, where you can find peace and recharge your batteries for everyday life.
Directions: Take the road towards St. Lambrecht, at the beehives on the left you go towards Berger Farm. Before the Berger farm yard, go up the cul-de-sac on the right, then keep left and come to a small plateau. You go behind the gate and up the forest path to the right (signs go up in front of the gate and then come back to the forest path a little further up). From here you always follow the signposts or the forest path uphill until you reach the Mühlsteinboden pilgrimage church.
