Before this small, sacred monument in the form of a cross, I would like to offer the viewer lingering here a brief prayer text written by the Polish-born Holy Father Jan Paweł II in preparation for the Jubilee of the Holy Year 2000, which preceded this year's celebration: "Jesus, only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth, light that illuminates every person, grant to all who seek you with a pure heart the fullness of life. To you, Redeemer of mankind, beginning and end of time and of the universe, to the Father, the inexhaustible source of all goodness, and to the Holy Spirit, the seal of infinite love, be honor and glory for all eternity. Amen." (Pope John Paul II / Karol Wojtyła)

"Is it always something special for you?" asks presenter Werner Schmidbauer, as he reaches the summit cross crowning the mountain with Munich pastor Rainer Maria Schießler in an episode of the Bavarian Television series "Gipfeltreffen" (Summit Meeting). I would like to offer his short but succinct answer for the consideration of all who linger before this small, sacred monument: "For me, the cross has always been a symbol of encouragement, hope, new beginnings, and life. That's how my parents taught it to me..."

In 2013, the Oggauer Alpine Club erected this cross at the highest point of the Oggauer Ötter (211) in gratitude for the many accident-free mountain tours. There is also a summit book.

The lowest summit cross in Austria! The views from the nearby towers and platforms are a little nicer, but it is still an idyllic place to linger.

High observation tower, the difficult climb is rewarded with a beautiful view.

The tower has been there for more than a decade and is said to have been transferred from the former Iron Curtain to Sonnenberg, but it still does not appear on any map and is hardly mentioned in many hiking descriptions. Climbing the lookout, however, requires a head for heights, as the ladders are particularly steep and narrow, which puts many visitors off. The lookout is around 18m high.
