Towering granite boulders, shell stones and hidden caves make this commuting path an adventure that inspires children and those seeking relaxation alike. From the starting point at the Färbermuseum car park, the path leads uphill towards Hainberger and - past the Höllerstadel - straight ahead and then right over a meadow path into the forest. Past "Russenversteck", Pechölstein and sacrificial bowls, it goes back to the village after the loop.

We are particularly fascinated by the old 1000-year-old yew tree and the impressive rock formations. There is water in the Schalenstein all year round.

The Mühlviertel is predestined for mythical atmospheres! A 1000-year-old yew tree offered orientation to those returning home after the war; rocks offered women a place to hide from Russian soldiers and a bowl in a rock has water all year round.
