April 27, 2026,Pielachtal, Spitzmauer-Geisbühel-Josef Franz Hütte-Burgruine Rabenstein von Rabenstein a. d. Pielach

Everything was perfect again today. The weather was glorious, the tour and the area anyway. The mountain hiking trail to the Spitzmauer with an incline of up to 34% really made us sweat. But that's how it should be. In summary: It almost doesn't get any better than this.

May 5, 2023,Rabenstein a. d. Pielachtal: Ruine Rabenstein, Josef Franz Hütte, Geißbühel 849 m, Spitzmauer

Today I follow in the footsteps of Hippo. We start our circular hike from the train station in Rabenstein. A short section of the path when leaving is missing. I was very glad I got the gps. had, because it is sometimes confusingly labeled. We made the loop without getting lost. We overtook four girls who were walking away quickly …

It is a privilege to be able to go on an unforgettable hike on such a beautiful autumn day. At 849 m, the Geisbühel is not one of the high mountains, but definitely one of the most beautiful. The transition from Tradigist-Steinschal to Rabenstein is not difficult, you pass great vantage points again and again and with the Josef-Franz-Hütte you …

Rabenstein an der Pielach is located in the middle of the Pielachtal in the Mostviertel in Lower Austria. A raven sitting on a rock is part of the official seal of the Pielachtal community. The community's most famous son is probably Cardinal Franz König. Another great and sweaty tour 🤪👍

The Geißbühel is considered a particularly beautiful flower mountain. The many dirndl bushes on the southern slope gave it the name "1000 dirndl mountain". At 841 m above sea level, the Josef Franz Hütte is located on the idyllic summit meadow with a great view. The jewel of nature lovers is unfortunately only open on weekends. A convenient self-service drinking …
