Rock formation of the former Wackelstein

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 24-ton stone cuboid rests towering on a huge stone formation, inclined slightly towards the slope. It offers a weather-proof resting place on the slope side - ideal for relaxing. In 2011 the rock was tipped over and broken.

Klaus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally a pleasure house of a factory owner's wife. We see this in the hearts in the chapel's shutters. In 1933, the property was bought at auction by the innkeeper couple Schuster from Harruck. In memory of her fallen son Karl Schuster, Mrs. Schuster donated the blockhouse for church purposes. In the late autumn of 1948, the local pastor at the time, Anton Hofbauer, had the house converted into a chapel, consecrated on the feast of Holy Brother Klaus (September 25).
According to legend, if you ring the bell in the Klauskapelle three times by pulling the rope once, your wish will come true.

August 28, 2024,Kombination aus Bergland und Granittrail + Kraftplatzl

Thanks to @Stefanowitsch who originally rode this tour. I added a power spot. It's really nice. Personally, I found it a bit too road-heavy, but these trails also lead partly along country roads. I don't understand why the Granite Trail isn't actually called the Root Trail. It would be much more appropriate

A really nice tour. What irritates me, however, is that the official tour, as I downloaded it from the Lower Austria website, ends in some places in a state of nothingness. Be it because a farmer blocks off the land or the route ends at a private house in front of the garage. Despite everything, it's highly recommended ☺️

Very nice round in the Waldviertel, which also leads over parts of the designated MTB Bergland route.
This time my brother was part of the party, who did quite well on what was basically his first tour off asphalt and gravel paths on the slightly more difficult parts of the route.
