Unqiue location

the Jakobskreuz

Strength seekers, pilgrims, thinkers, free spirits and bon vivants - they all meet in the imposing Jakobskreuz at the summit of the Buchensteinwand. The largest accessible cross in the world.  On a total of five viewing platforms you can turn around your own axis and enjoy the 360°panoramic view.

The word vista could not be defined better than here. No wonder, that the Jakobskreuz is so popular for workshops and meetings. The famous vista is also in demand for the search for new ideas and maximum creative performance.

Antonius Chapel

The Jakobskreuz has had a new attraction since October 2020 - the Antonius Chapel. On the initiative of the mountain railway owner KR Anton Pletzer, the Kitzbühel master carpenter and artist Max Biembacher created a small, puristic mountain chapel in a four-month construction period directly in the base of the Jakobskreuz. Craftsmen from the Pillersee region have contributed with their craftsmanship. The marble for the altar comes from Kramsach.
