Masenberg, Alpine subgroup with summit cross in Pöllauberg, Austria
Masenberg is a mountain summit reaching about 1,260 meters (4,130 feet) with marked trails running through forests to the top. Two mountain huts sit at different points on the mountain to serve hikers along their routes.
The mountain was gradually developed as a hiking destination starting with the construction of huts and educational forest paths. This development allowed people from the surrounding region to explore these heights regularly.
The summit chapel, called Glückskapelle, shows how much this mountain means to local people. Visitors can feel the connection that residents have built with this place over time.
Two staffed huts offer seating for groups with both indoor and outdoor spaces to rest or eat. A community taxi service connects specific points on the mountain to help visitors reach different sections more easily.
A special herbal liqueur named after the seven hills of Masenberg is made and served only at this location. This regional drink tells a story about the landscape and its character in a unique way.
