Blumental

there are two pictures - which one is the right one 🤔

Funnily enough, a trash can was attached to the back

pompous footbridge just before a construction site, the further planning is not yet apparent here

The castle on the slope of the Hiesberg was first mentioned in 1100 in connection with a Wernher von Zelking. Wernher von Zelking's origins are unclear. A relationship with the noble family of the Lords of Haguenau is not proven, nor is it that he was the son of Reginbert (III.) of Haguenau, as is usually assumed in research. He was married and the father of Ulrich (I.) von Zelking.[1] The Lords of Zelking died out in 1634. The festival passed through marriage to the Polheim family in Wartenburg and around 1662 to Andrä Joachim Graf Sinzendorf.[2] When the Turks besieged Vienna in 1683 and their patrols advanced far into western Lower Austria, the still well-fortified castle served as a place of refuge for the surrounding civilian population.[2] After the manorial administration was relocated to nearby Matzleinsdorf, the fortress was abandoned. In 1802 Franziska Countess Kinsky, a widowed Countess Sinzendorf, married Count Harrach for the second time. Later owners included the Counts of Rohrau and the Galgozy-Galantha family. Today the ruins only consist of stonework from the 12th to 16th centuries. However, you can still see the massive arched gate and some notched windows.

Official parking lot for the municipality of Zelking-Matzleinsdorf. Ideal as a starting point for hikes to the Weißen Stein and Hiesberg.

Good stopover for the last section

Easy hike with good views. Easy to walk even in bad weather or for beginners. However, too long for children at around 19km.
