While hiking in the rugged Erlauf Gorge, it's hard to imagine that you're in the heart of the market town of Purgstall. A unique natural spectacle and always worth a visit!

It's a great experience to see what water can shape and create in the Erlauf Gorge over millions of years.

Opposite the Bergmühle (Berg Mill), this square is easily accessible by bike and offers beautiful views of the Erlauf Gorge. The panels tell of Egon Schiele's connection to the Erlauf Gorge and the "Path of Peace."
