ヴァイストラッハでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Elisabethwarte (Plattenberg, 750 m) – a historic observation tower (18.5 m) with 360° panoramic views of the Most, Mühl, and Traunviertel districts. Accessible via 82 steps, it features a tower bust of the Empress and the "Rock the Sissi" climbing wall.

Anyone hiking through Weistrach should plan a short detour to the parish church of St. Stephen. This late-Gothic hall church impresses with its ornate ribbed vault and neo-Gothic spire – a true gem both inside and out. A tranquil place to pause and reflect – and a small architectural highlight on the way through the Mostviertel region.

The small Fröschl Chapel, also known as the "Rehkogel Chapel," was built in 1914 by Johann and Rosina Fröschl in gratitude for Johann Fröschl's recovery. Since then, it has served not only as a spiritual retreat on the way to Weistrach, but soon became an integral part of the region's religious life. In 1939, it was expanded: The carpenter Gallhuber (known as Schodermeier), grandfather of the current Brandecker family, installed an altar table and benches. Since then, the chapel has also been a fixture in the annual supplication procession. For many decades, the Fröschl Chapel was a popular place of power – both for hikers and locals seeking peace and contemplation. The sadness was all the greater when the chapel was demolished by the property owner on March 25, 2025, without prior notice. Many people from the surrounding area associated personal memories with this place. But there is hope: thanks to the rapid commitment of the parish, community and residents, a new chapel is already planned at a nearby location.

Great tour, very selective.....

Fröschl Chapel (power place)

The path from the Elisabethwarte is a very nice, easy gravel/forest path, which is even signposted as a "children's MTB path". At the Mostbrunnen you can buy drinks and enjoy a beautiful view over the town of Kürnberg.

From the lookout point there is a wonderful view towards the south. The view to the north can already be seen on the way up from Goldberg.

A really "cool" rest area, with a bench and a beautiful view, ideal for enjoying a snack while hiking.
