St. James Parish Church (Ottenschlag)

Highlight • Religious Site

The church with chapel can be found directly in the lively town center on the Upper Market. In the 15th century, the main walls of the church of St. James were built, but in the meantime the church has been renovated and extended several times. What is especially worth seeing, you can read here: ottenschlag.com/index.php?id=184

Franzosenstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

As skewed as the Franzosenstein lies, you could almost think that it falls over at any moment. But it doesn't happen that quickly. Even around a hundred French soldiers are said to have failed to move the stone. So they lost a bet against the Traunsteiners and at the same time gave the stone its name.

Wachtstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

From 980 m above sea level you can enjoy a wonderful view. So the climb is worth it. Attention, the last piece needs some "climbing resistance" and cannot be done by everyone. Good shoes are an advantage on the large, smooth stone blocks.

Root trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Intense root trail that mostly leads through the middle of the forest. A lot of technique and fitness are required here. The route is a bit variable, but if you're not careful there are a few stream crossings along the way. You have to be very careful, especially in the morning when there is morning dew or after rain. Beginners should definitely push here.
The trail is part of various official mountain bike tours and is therefore legal.
