Karchau-Mühlsteinboden

This is a wonderful hike to the idyllic Mühlsteinboden pilgrimage church. From there there is a sensational landscape view.

According to legend, Mühlsteinboden was a witch mountain. Bad weather is said to have showered hail every year until a pious farmer put a cross there. Today there is a small pilgrimage church there at 1,544 m above sea level. Locals and guests alike confirm that this is still a special place of power today, where you can find peace and recharge your batteries for everyday life.
