Sonnwendstein, Mountain summit in Schottwien, Austria.
Sonnwendstein rises to an elevation of 1523 meters between Rax and Stuhleck mountains, featuring limestone and dolomite geological formations throughout its slopes.
The mountain's chapel, constructed between 1935 and 1936, preceded the establishment of a radio transmitter station in 1957 at the summit location.
The northern slope houses Maria-Schutz, a small resort featuring a baroque pilgrim church from 1728, serving as a religious and recreational center.
Multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty levels connect to the summit from Feistritzsattel, Semmering, Payerbach, Schottwien, and Maria Schutz starting points.
The summit provides clear views into the Vienna Basin, with visibility extending toward the Rax and Schneeberg mountains in the northern direction.
