Nice, not too long hike with a wonderful view, which is also doable with children. The Burgstall Gorge is a special highlight for off-road children but also for adults. An approx. 20 m long rock crevice for slim people. But of course also the “summit victory” for young and old.

Very easy hike to the highest elevation in the Perg district with a wonderful view. According to legend, the large rock caves of the Burgstall are filled with gold and precious stones. The treasures are carefully guarded by little men. Once every year, on Mettennacht, the mighty rock gate opens and the subterranean realm can be entered by a person.........
