Many snow roses bloom along the path, but it is also very nice to hike along the Ybbs.

On the Kreuzstöcklberg in Kematen there is an old turning stone in a pillar, around which some stories from times long past and an ancient legend are entwined. The so-called Kreuzstöckl is often visited by hikers who walk the Schneerosenweg in Kematen. People like to pause there, turn the stone and linger in devotion.

This contributes significantly to the beautiful appearance of the place and preserves the village chapel as a special attraction in the Mostviertler cultural landscape.
