Hiking trail

Herzogreitherfelsenweg

The hiking route is designed as an outward and return route. An easily accessible hiking trail leads from the start to the Herzogreitherfelsen. From the Herzogreitherfelsen plateau, enjoy the magnificent panoramic view over the Mühlviertel hills, the foothills of the Alps and, with good visibility, the mountain range from Schneeberg to Dachstein. It is one of the most beautiful vantage points in the entire region. However, the ascent to the summit cross is only possible with the help of an attached steel cable and is not without danger. It is therefore only suitable for children if accompanied by an adult.
The Susi Wallner lookout point is located along the way, from where you have an impressive view. The key is available at the inns in St. Leonhard.
A little further along the path is the 200-year-old gypsy beech tree. Even before the war, but mainly after 1945, gypsies travelled through the village and sold their wares by the beech tree.
Refreshment stops in the village centre - GH Schwarz (closed on Mondays), GH Janko (closed on Tuesdays and Mondays), Café Konditorei Honeder.
