I hiked from the Perneckerkogel over here to the Eiskogel. The fantastic view today of the "sea of fog" in the valley and the surrounding outstanding mountain peaks was simply wonderful. ☀️recharge your batteries and let your soul unwind "above the clouds".😅😍👌🏼☀️🧡🥾

From the Seisenburg ruins car park, climb up to the Perneckerkogel. The tall trees mean you have little view of the surrounding landscape. But the TRAUNSTEIN stands out very prominently and is clearly visible. A hike here is definitely worth it and then it's not far to the "Ederbild and the Eiskogel". ⛰️😉😍☀️🧡🥾

Dear Intertronic, the Krems does not flow into the Traun in Kematen/Kr but only in the Ebelsberg district of Linz.

The neo-Gothic church was built in 1888 according to plans by the cathedral builder Otto Schirmer and is a listed building. The interior, with the ribbed vault and the colorful windows, is also well worth seeing.
