Weyrer Bögen: The hike passes over a part of this geological peculiarity. The mountain range from Gaflenz - Spindeleben and Lindau Mauer - to Weyer/Unterlaussa - Bodenwies runs not from west to east but from north to south. On the mountain ridge between Burgspitz and Almkogel, this phenomenon is very clearly visible.
