오브리츠버그-러스트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪18‬개의 산 정상

The Dunkelstein (625m) near St. Pölten is an easily accessible destination with a summit cross, ideal for a short hike without any special requirements, often combined with the summit cross at the Hennesteck for a beautiful view, as the Dunkelstein itself is mostly surrounded by trees; a tip is to combine the loop with the nearby, scenic summit to have the full experience with summit register and panoramic view.

At 625 meters above sea level, the Dunkelstein is the highest point in the southern Dunkelstein Forest. An iron high stand was erected near the summit in 1931 for the purpose of surveying. This was blown up by the German Wehrmacht in 1945. The concrete foundations and remnants of the latticework can still be seen today not far from the summit cross.

A stunning viewpoint with an ascent and descent for experienced hikers! Fantastic views over the Wachau Valley from a height of 712 meters.

Summit cross

A beautiful vantage point in the Dunkelsteinerwald forest, with a particularly fantastic view of Göttweig Abbey. It's worth the hike up if you don't mind the undergrowth. You'll still find remnants of World War I fortifications in the area, which were built to secure the Krems bridges against an Italian breakthrough.

The new lookout is a great vantage point over the Wachau! Numerous hiking trails pass by here, such as the World Heritage Trail and the Dunkelsteinerwald circular hiking trail.

Beautiful and modern watchtower with a great view!

The Hirschwand, or rather the Hirschwandsteig, is well secured with ropes and footholds, but you should still be sure-footed and free from shingles if you want to enjoy the view here.
