Beautiful viewing pulpit high above Gröbming and the Enns valley. To the little peace church in the footsteps of Peter Rosegger and knight Emil von Horstig.

Even the ascent on the Stoderzinken Alpenstraße is an experience. Especially in the last third, where the road hugs the rocks and leads to the starting point. During the short hike from the Rosemi Alm to the Alpengasthof Steiner, we get our first glimpse of the Dachstein Glacier high above the forest. A beautiful, narrow path leads directly along the rocks to the chapel, which sits enthroned on the summit like an eagle's nest and offers a wonderful view over the Ennstal and to Gröbming and Aich-Assach.

More information

Exit the B320 Ennstalbundesstraße in Gröbming. Follow the signs towards the Stoderzinken Alpenstrasse. From the Adventure Park/Gröbminger Alm, the Stoderzinkenstraße is a toll road.

At the crossroads next to the Stoderhütte, the trail branches off to the summit and to the Friedenskirchlein, which can be reached in about 20 minutes. Narrow and close to the rock, this beautiful path leads to the little church, which hangs in the rocks like an eagle's nest and offers a magnificent view. Built in memory of the pioneer of the Stoderzinken, Emil Ritter von Horstig, it has now become a much-visited vantage point.

From July 8th to September 10th, 2023 it is possible to drive up with the Stoderzinken bus shuttle.
