The parish church of Altenmarkt an der Triesting (St. John the Baptist) is a historically significant sacred building, whose origins are closely linked to the Klein-Mariazell monastery around the year 1200. The church, located on a rise at the edge of the village, has been destroyed, renovated, and expanded several times over the centuries due to wars (Hungarian, Ottoman).

My local mountain. The birthplace of my great love for nature, mountains, and horizons. Under optimal conditions, the Velka Javorina, 156km away; 970m high on the Czech-Slovak border, can (theoretically) be seen as the furthest point. Exactly to the south is the Wechsel, further west the Schneeberg, Rax, Schneealpe, Obersberg, Gippl, Unterberg, Großer Zellerhut, Ötscher and then Reisalpe, Hochstaff and the Danube valley to the north.

The northeasternmost peak in the Alps, reaching over 1,000 meters. Here, the foresters leave nothing standing! Decades ago, the forest floor was still full of snowdrops, which fell victim to the harvester. Only on the Kienberg can one still find an exceptionally dense density of snowdrops. The Altenmarkt side is largely beech forest. On the far side, there is more pine forest with heather and serviceberry as undergrowth. Small purple gentians can be found on the summit meadow.
