Along the Sterngartl Loop, or starting point (if you will) for C_Sterngartl South. You can always get a good coffee here...which is unfortunately no longer the case in other places.

Not only do you have a beautiful view towards Linz, but also to the east into the Mühlviertel. If visibility is good, it pays to have a good pair of binoculars with you. My wife and I are always amazed that so many people rushed past us on such beautiful paths as this one. In any case, we enjoyed the view once again. 2024.10.06. 24er ROUND - - Gallneukirchen - Altenberg & back https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/1900429359
