Beautiful wooden signpost at the Krameter Kreuz. This alone makes the residents of Fanningberg seem very likeable.

From the Rader Chapel you have a wonderful view down into the valley. There is also a comfortable bench nearby. In the neighboring Raderhof you can rent rooms and apartments and spend a holiday on the farm.

Mauterndorf is a beautiful little but lovely place. It is worth a visit.

On the way from Tamsweg over the Mitterberg, on the so-called "Kojet saddle" at 1380 m above sea level, stands this attractive chapel between two massive stone pines and surrounded by a wooden fence. It invites you to linger. The arcade chapel has a brick, plastered wayside shrine and an open wooden porch that is 2.35 m wide, 2 m long and 2.2 m high, each with 2 prayer benches for 8 people. In the brick part with a pointed tent roof there is a barred pointed arch niche above which the following blessing can be read: "Mary and Child, dear, give us all your blessing." The niche is designed as a grotto, in the middle of which stands a Virgin Mary (80 cm high) with child and crown. On the left in a separate niche there is a smaller grotto with St. Florian, and opposite there is also a grotto with St. Christopher.
