In 1998, this forge was opened to the public as a show forge on the occasion of the Upper Austrian provincial exhibition "Land of Hammers - Home of the Eisenwurzen". Those interested can forge nails, horseshoes or pokers here.

    Rock carvings in the Höll: Below the path over the Teichlboden to the Wurzeralm there are rock carvings in a gorge, which Ernst Burgstaller was the first to examine. According to his assumption, the carvings are not prehistoric because of the weathering rate of the limestone, but date back to the Middle Ages at the earliest. In addition, engraved dates from later times (1714, 1764, 1900, 1935) were found.
