Description
The Burgsteinmauer lookout mountain lies at 975m above sea level. From the summit you have a magnificent view, which on fine days stretches from the Schneeberg to the Dachstein. The new summit cross made of larch wood, two table benches, a large panorama board and a picture frame (for your souvenir photo) invite you to linger.
