Tips from the Community
The urge to "immerse oneself in nature" is not a modern fad that we humans of the 21st century are letting ourselves be led into – for example, with the komoot tour planner – but rather is based on much older behavioral patterns and the ancient knowledge that it simply does us good. Even in a "memo book" written by Peter Rosegger (1843 to 1918), the exhortation reads: "We must once again properly seek out our healthy limbs and immerse ourselves in nature, rediscovering within ourselves the lost strengths that are ours. ... This makes you fresh, this makes you strong, and this makes you wise. You learn a lot from it, especially how to live simply and become cheerful."

„We Christians have learned that God follows his promises with actions (...) What hope and joy should this thought fill us with! But we know ourselves and know that everyday life makes it difficult for us to be happy with all the senses of the soul“, writes Christiane Völker in a publication, from which I would like to offer a few short sentences for contemplation to those who linger here before this small, sacred monument. Since the Christian symbol of the cross not only stands for the death of Jesus, but is also a sign of his resurrection, which has also been promised to us, a little spiritual rest at this crucifix, lovingly adorned with some interesting details, perhaps offers „a break of joy… which we can fill daily with the gaze upon the manger and the cross, upon hope and salvation.“

In the year 1182, in a deed by Margrave Otakar IV of Styria (also Ottokar), a certain "Chalhoch de Stratensteine" is attested, confirming the freedoms of Seckau Abbey, dedicated by his father. Two years later, his son "Ortolf" also appears in documents. Both names are characteristic of the Lords of Schrattenstein.

The ruins are visible from afar. However, you can't drive directly to them. You have to leave your bike in the parking lot and then walk to the ruins.

Until the lake was completely fenced in, this place was a beautiful place, especially in the evenings, with a lovely holiday vibe. Now it's more like an enclosure.
