The Schnopfhagen monument on the Hansberg commemorates Hans Schnopfhagen (1845-1908). Schnopfhagen was a composer, local poet and pedagogue. Until his death, Hans Schnopfhagen was a teacher and headmaster in the neighboring community of St. Veit. He also wrote the “Hoamtgsang,” which has been the Upper Austrian national anthem since 1953.

“Look into the country” You can enjoy a wonderful view from the Hansberg Below the snack station on Hansberg, the highest elevation in St. Johann am Wimberg (850 m), there is a bench next to the Herrgottskreuz. When you sit on it, when the weather is nice, the view extends south across the Danube to the Alps. www.meinkreis.at
