Description
The extensive alpine pastures belonging to the monastery high above Lilienfeld are rightly known as the sunroof of the small town. When there is thick fog in the Traisental, the sun reigns up there. A popular panoramic trail leads across the magnificent alpine pastures, which can be easily climbed by chair lift at the weekend. Athletes with a bit of surefootedness can tackle the tour from the valley via the two romantic waterfalls. A total of five huts or restaurants on the mountain invite you to stop for a bite to eat. The summit of the Muckenkogel presents a monastery point with references to four monasteries in the surrounding area. The Muckenkogel, once home to ski pioneer Zdarsky, has recently become a winter meeting point for numerous ski tourers.
