From the Kalvarienberg you have a wonderful view at any time of year - from the Bohemian Forest to the Dachstein. Due to its location - not far from the village centre and close to the Donausteig trail - the Kalvarienberg is accessible on foot (also with prams/asphalt) all year round. From there you can also take a leisurely hike to the Stauf castle ruins. The Calvary was consecrated as early as 1838, but the station chapels fell into disrepair towards the end of the 19th century. In 1938, the then parish priest Dr Waslmayr decided to renovate the Way of the Cross. He commissioned the Franciscan Father Herculan Baldauf to design the pictures and his confrere Father Philipp-Jakob Vergott to execute them. When Fr Philipp died unexpectedly, Fr Herkulan completed the paintings for the Stations of the Cross. But they were never put up again, probably due to the turmoil of the war and post-war period. In 1973, Father Wundsam discovered the pictures and suggested that they be put up. In 1974, with many hours of voluntary labour, the Stations of the Cross were erected in a short space of time. At the turn of the year 2013/2014, numerous helpers lent a helping hand and provided many hours of voluntary labour, material donations and financial support. The chapel now shines in new splendour once again. From the newly designed rest area on the Calvary, you have a wonderful view from the Bohemian Forest to the Dachstein - at any time of year or day!
