There is a Nature Friends memorial plaque directly under the summit cross of Schoberstein/Molln and it was lovingly restored by the people of Wels in 2016! The Nature Friends themselves were founded in Vienna in 1895 and our memorial plaque commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Trattenbach/Ennstal local group in 1929. This meeting took place in a politically very turbulent time, but the solidarity among the workers/employees was great! Even today, society is in upheaval and we should take this sense of togetherness as an example!

A beautiful summit with a wonderful view. On days with good visibility you have a panorama that extends from the Mühlviertel to far into the northern foothills of the Alps.

There are various hiking starting points to the Schoberstein - from the south of Molln and in the north of the Trattenbachtal. Fantastic view of the Gesäuseberge, Haller Mauern, Sengsengebirge and Dead Mountains. Below the summit is the Schobersteinhaus with excellent cuisine.
