THE HOCHGRÜNDECK
(1.827m)
The Benevolent Queen cherished a close relationship with her Healer. He was her master in many ways. From him she learned to respect and accept life with all its ups and downs. And she realised that there’s a time for everything: sometimes waiting patiently and calmly is the best option, sometimes active help is required to alter the course of fate. Learn from the Healer, how mighty the power of stillness can be and why outer peace is only achievable through inner peace.
The Healer and the Salzburger Summit Game
Peace and quiet make an effective healing agent: surrounded by tranquility you can sharpen your senses and let your thoughts wander. The Healer challenges us to leave our everyday lives behind and promotes introspection. Only those who care for themselves, can care for others.
Speciality of the Hochgründecks
The peak cross on the Hochgründeck, the St. Vinzenz Chapel of Peace and the Heinrich-Kiener-Haus are just a few minute’s walk apart. The St. Vinzenz Chapel of Peace counts as “a complete artwork of symbolism“ and its altar picture opens a window onto the fabulously scenic mountain landscape. You should take time to explore and savour these treasures at an altitude over 1,800 m.
The ritual at the Hochgründeck
The ritual of the Healer should help you to recharge your batteries to the brim. That something that works well at this ancient power spot. Subsequently there are instructions of how to find inner peace.

The Salzburger Summit Game
at a glance
The Salzburger Summit Game invites you to conquer the seven peaks of the Salzburger Sportwelt by yourself. You can purchase the “starter pack“ consisting of drinking cup, tour book and hiking map in the local Tourist Offices: the tour book includes interesting information about all the summits plus thoughts for along the way. It provides space for personal entries too. At all the summits you’ll find a summit book, in which you can leave a personal entry and where you‘ll find the ritual.
All resorts of the Salzburger Sportwelt are part of the Salzburger Summit Game: that is the resorts of Eben, Filzmoos, Radstadt, Flachau, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Wagrain-Kleinarl and St. Johann in Salzburg. You can purchase the “starter packs“ for the Salzburger Summit Game from the Tourist Offices in all of these resorts.
Die „Wohlwollende Königin und ihre Edelmänner“ waren einst eine mächtige Herrscherin und ihre weisen Berater. Mittlerweile längst versteinert, erinnert heute die sieben Berge Bischofsmütze, Penkkopf, Hochgründeck, Saukarfunktel, Gerzkopf, Rossbrand und Lackenkogel an die Legende.
The tours are all easy to medium difficult and can be undertaken by adults as well as children. There are no climbing passages or exposed spots.
For each summit a ritual has been concepted around the peculiarities of the Queen, the Noblemen and their messages to us human beings. Thus, for example, the Bearer of Secret’s ritual concerns our most secret wishes, the Poet’s ritual concerns our talents and the Magician’s ritual is all about leaving your comfort zone. The rituals should be taken as an invitation or inspiration and are not obligatory.
