Beautiful path along the Zwettl. Also easy to navigate with a trekking bike.Klaus Chapel:
Originally a pleasure house belonging to a factory owner's wife. In 1933 the property was bought at auction by the innkeeper couple Schuster from Harruck. Mrs. Schuster donated the log house for church purposes in memory of her fallen son Karl Schuster. In late autumn 1948, the local priest at the time, Anton Hofbauer, arranged for the house to be converted into a chapel, consecrated for the feast of Saint Brother Klaus (September 25th). According to legend, whoever makes the bell at the Klaus Chapel ring three times by pulling the rope once will have their wish come true.
