The Frauenstein (520 m) is a hill in the Danube region of Upper Austria. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet and take a break.

You absolutely have to connect the Frauenstein Circuit with the Wolfsschlucht

It is perhaps no coincidence that the Kneipp and bathing culture developed in Kreuzen. Just above the Wolfsschlucht there is the “Badstein”, a bathtub carved into the rock, and the “Frauenstein” also has a bowl that is large enough to take a bath in. The second bowl is a little above and has an overflow into the lower basin (diameter of almost 1m). There are two precisely worked troughs, one almost ½ m deep. Saint Mary is said to have washed her feet here. The Queen of all Saints has always had a special place in the hearts of the rural population. She stands for the soulful nature, for the great Mother Earth. While the men of the church locked up their God in magnificent buildings, she found her home in the untamed wilderness. The legends of the origins of our large Marian pilgrimage sites indicate that they were stone, tree or spring shrines of the ancestors. The myth says that the tree is the child of the stone that is fed by the spring. There is always water in the Frauenstein, even in the driest of times. The mighty boulder with its two bowls is a real challenge; it looks harmless, but there is a real danger of falling if you are not careful. Until well into the 20th century, the Frauenstein was visited in times of great drought. Farmers' wives sent their daughters to draw water from the stone. The fields were sprinkled with it and it soon rained. If the men fetched the water, it did not work. Women's magic for a flourishing country and a good harvest.
