A large car parking park is located directly next to the Stoderzinken Alpenstraße (near Rosemi Alm). Other parking spaces are located directly in Gröbming at the bus station or near the primary schools. From there you can take the Stoderzinken bus shuttle to the Stoderzinken.

The ascent is via the Stoderzinken Alpine road (toll road) with a magnificent panorama.

At the wayside cross next to the Stoder hut, the trail branches off to the summit and the Friedenskirchlein (little church), which can be reached in about 20 minutes.

No. The path to the Friedenskircherl is not secured in winter and therefore not accessible!

The Friedenskircherl was built in 1902 by Emil Ritter von Horstig and was thus 120 later voted the most beautiful place in Austria.

Peter Rosegger also visited the Friedenskircherl on the Stoderzinken and wrote the following verse in view of its beauty: "What shall I write in these mountains full of sunshine? I can only be silent and blissful in devotion."

In 1982, a special stamp was dedicated to the Friedenskircherl on the occasion of its 80th anniversary. 

Since 1993, the Friedenskircherl has been owned by the Gröbming branch of the Austrian Mountain Rescue Service, which also takes care of its upkeep.

The Stoderzinken, and in particular the Friedenskircherl, have already been filming locations for the zdf series "Die Bergretter" (The Mountain Rescuers), which is filmed throughout the region, but especially in Ramsau am Dachstein. In the 3rd season, even the crash of the Friedenskircherl is filmed. During the filming of the mountain rescuers, real mountain rescuers, such as Heri Eisl, are always present to provide support. 

A replica of the Friedenskircherl can be found at the eastern entrance to Gröbming on the B320 main road. There is also a small model in the Gröbming Museum.
