The Sonnwendstein can be reached from the pilgrimage site of Maria Schutz or Semmering and offers an impressive panoramic view from an elevation of 1,523 meters. From the Bergkircherl at the Sonnwendstein, the view stretches across the Vienna Basin and the entire region, including Semmering, Rax, and Schneeberg to the north. After hiking to the summit of the Sonnwendstein, we recommend stopping for a break at the Pollereshütte.
