Description

The Wetterkreuz (weather cross) is situated on the north-east ridge of the Langschneid. This summit provides a superb viewing area, with lovely views down into St. Jakob. From St. Jakob (847 metres altitude) – from the new secondary school in St. Jakob to the junction with signposts, via a steep and strenuous path up into the forest and the Wetterkreuz.
