The Jagasitz guesthouse was a popular stop for hikers in the Piestingtal for many years. Today the business is permanently closed, but the building still evokes its time as a cozy resting place. A piece of regional hiking history that many still remember fondly. 🍂🏡

A bench overlooking the mountains invites a relaxing break with a wide panorama of the surrounding pre-alpine landscape. Between sky, forest, and peaks, a quiet moment arises here, far from the hustle and bustle. An ideal place to catch your breath, enjoy the view, and gather new energy for the rest of the tour.

An actually very interesting ruin with an intact round chapel in the gate tower and an intact smoke kitchen. Unfortunately, the ruin has been closed for some time and left to further decay.

Lovable and old-fashioned inn, showing its age and precisely for that reason worth a visit, ideally in combination with a hike in the Steinbachklamm. Lack of modernity and naturalness, no major renovations, make the guest room and the garden appear tried-and-tested and cozy.

The name Starhemberg is derived from the original name 'starker Berg' or 'Starkenberg'. The castle is not to be confused with castles of the same name in Upper Austria, Schloss Starhemberg (Haag am Hausruck), the namesake seat of the Starhemberg princely house, and its current seat Schloss Starhemberg (Eferding). The castle ruin discussed here had no connection with the well-known family of apostles.

In autumn, when the stones are covered with leaves, they are rather unpleasant to drive on.

Rest area in Pernitz with the much-discussed figure of the "upright Trangler," donated by the Pernitz Beer Association (which no longer exists). 🙂
