Bergsteigerfriedhof Johnsbach

The Bergsteigerfriedhof cemetery stands at the foot of the Gesäuse mountains, containing graves of mountaineers who perished during their climbing expeditions.

Since the early 1900s, this cemetery has become the final resting place for numerous climbers who met their fate in the surrounding Gesäuse mountain range.

Each gravestone in the cemetery tells individual stories of mountaineers, documenting their climbing achievements and the circumstances of their mountain accidents.

The cemetery serves as the starting point for the Bible trail, a 1.4-kilometer path featuring thirteen shrines with religious artworks by painter Helmut Witte.

From the cemetery grounds, visitors can observe the Großer Ödstein Peak while walking among the graves that document over a century of alpine climbing history.
