This little square was planned and built by Willi Fröhlich in 2006 with the support of the Prince Starhemberg Family Foundation and the Vorderweißenbach Beautification and Village Development Association. As the name suggests, it is located at 1,000 meters above sea level and offers a beautiful view to the south.
