The Hunter in Kürnberg

Highlight • Historical Site

Inscription on a plaque on the wall of the house:
"The 'Jäger im Kürnberg' was probably built in the 16th century. built and was for centuries a hunters' and forester's house.
The building burned down for the first time in 1736, but was rebuilt by the then Oberjäger. During the Napoleonic Wars, French soldiers set the stately hunting lodge on fire.
The respective senior hunters and foresters traditionally ran a restaurant in their home. The right to drink has been granted to them personally by Emperor Maximilian. The high point of the inn was in the Biedermeier period, when hordes of Sunday guests walked out of the city. The young Anton Bruckner also knew the restaurant and celebrated the completion of his exams here.
In 1957 the Jäger im Kürnberg became a private residential building.”

Rest Area and Memorial at Dörnbach Trail Junction

Highlight • Rest Area

A large covered shelter protects against heat and rain, or the hut and outdoor seating can be used for a break. Signposts facilitate orientation for further route selection. Children are thought of with some play equipment. A memorial stone, a cross and the information boards in the hut also need to be seen.

Pilgrims' Cross on the Kürnberg summit

Highlight • Summit

It was so small you could almost miss it. The small summit cross on the Kürnberg, which was erected in a clearing between individual trees and bushes, now has a lot of competition.

Because the Leonding Seniors' Association moved out with tractor and shovel to erect a new monument on the local mountain of the communities of Leonding and Wilhering. Now a stainless steel sculpture adorns the highest point of the Kürnberg Forest.

Stress-Free Rest Area in the Forest

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This hut is in a place where "stress - a scourge of our time" can be forgotten. That is what the information board is about. A beautiful place in the forest!
"We have to learn to limit ourselves to what is essential and possible," it says.

Watercourse

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here the path begins with surprises. The old hiking trail no longer exists. We looked for ours on direct paths and old forest roads.

Ruins of the Roman Tower (Römerturm), Kürnbergerwald

Highlight • Historical Site

The foundations of this watchtower built in the 2nd century were discovered only in 1936 and excavated and conserved in 1991. A good resting place in the footsteps of the Romans.

because of woodwork we had to leave the Vijo-Weg and walk a bit through the undergrowth!
For the last part it would be better to take the forest path to the main road, as our path was totally overgrown!
