Veitsch Mount of Olives Pilgrim Cross, Wooden pilgrim cross in Sankt Barbara im Mürztal, Austria.
The wooden cross structure reaches 40.7 meters in height, making it accessible for visitors to climb inside through multiple levels and chambers.
The cross was constructed in 2004 at an intersection of major European hiking trails to represent peace and understanding between different nations.
The interior contains seven distinct chambers designed by artists Adolf Osterider and Heide Osterider-Stibor, depicting the story of creation through various artworks.
The cross opens daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM throughout the year, with entry requiring a 2 Euro coin for the turnstile system.
Visitors can ascend to a height of 27 meters within the structure, which features a meditation room at the intersection of the cross arms.
