Gasthof Haudum & Speck Workshop

Highlight • Restaurant

Good place to stay overnight if you are doing a multi-day hike in the area. For granite pilgrims and power-source tree hikers, this accommodation is not only conveniently located, but also offers a great breakfast. Fried eggs and bacon from the farm's own production can be provided on request. Sensationally good!!!

Playground by the Steinerne Mühl

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice and spacious playground. It has everything a playground needs. And as a bonus, there is an area for splashing around in the water right next to the Steinerne Mühl.

Maria Rast Forest Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

After a long walk uphill in the forest, you suddenly find yourself in front of this beautiful little pilgrimage church. Unfortunately, you can only view the interior from the outside through the lattice gate.

... and the Berghexen hike again in the beautiful Mühlviertel.

Our round started in Helfenberg in the Rohrbach district and our first destination was the Zölsenberg. The summit at 765 m is only interesting to me and my loyal Berghexen take it with humor.
