April 16, 2025,Ausblickrunde in Waldhausen

AGP was the swimming lake in Waldhausen i.Strudengau for the scenic walk in this wonderful weather. Finally, we were lucky enough to marvel at an Easter exhibition at the monastery. There, the Passion story is depicted with hand-sewn figures. A true work of art.

March 9, 2025,Ausblickrunde in Waldhausen

Beautiful route! Mostly on beautiful, wide forest and meadow paths, with a few short stretches on quiet roads. In between, you pass the stone formations typical of the Mühlviertel region, where there is always a bench to rest on. And as the name suggests, there are lots of beautiful views in every direction.

GPS Montana: walking time 4:15, elevation: 596 m
Today I'm hiking with the mountain witches in Waldhausen. We're partly following in the footsteps of Wimberger Brigitte. Elisabeth shortened the tour a bit because we young witches can't keep up with Brigitte anymore. When we got to the starting point, almost all of the witches were aching from the impressive tour. …
