Wonderful circular hike away from the hustle and bustle in the hilly Mühlviertel landscape. The legend of the devil (information board at the summit cross) is really brilliant, a clever farmer😜

Such rock formations are more commonly found further north in the Mühlviertel region. A great destination for a day trip that is easy to reach or can be explored via a beautiful circular hiking trail: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2058392409

The hiking trail is also wonderful when coming up from Windegg. The last stretch to the rock formation is then a matter of personal judgement.

Be careful, the wind was blowing here. End of June 2024. Seems to be well known and lowers the average, which was not taken into account in the planning.
