On a striking eastern foothills of the Dachsteinstock, the 2047 meter high Stoderzinken, was built in 1902 on the suggestion of Emil Ritter von Horstig dubauty the so-called "Peace Church", popularly called "Friedenskircherl". It should, in accordance with the ecumenical spirit of its initiator, become a refuge of contemplation for all mountain hikers who come to the Stoderzinken. Over the decades, this small place of worship on Gröbminger Hausberg has become a landmark that enjoys fame and admiration far beyond the borders of the Enns valley. In the service of the development of the Stoderzinkens was decided by the municipality Gröbming in 1958, the decision to build a motor road. In 1962 it was officially handed over to traffic. As a result, the ski area on the Stoderzinken was also developed. Thus, Gröbming has made a significant contribution not only to the improvement of local tourism, but also to the holiday offer in the Dachstein-Tauern region. The brand motif shows the Peace Church on the Stoderzinken.
