Around the Roßeck

Impressive viewing angles: From the silhouette of the small mountain village of St. Blasen with the Kalkberg over long forest passages to the unobstructed view from the church hill on Mühlsteinboden.

According to legend, Mühlsteinboden was a witch mountain. Bad weather is said to have showered hail here every year until a pious farmer erected 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.
