A pile of stones as a highlight, seriously?
Ok, this one is, it's so typical of the Dunkelsteinerwald.

Seekopf Observation Tower (671 m)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Observation tower (only for hikers who don't suffer from vertigo, the ladders up are "open downwards" :-) . At the top, of course, there is a 360° panoramic view.

Seekopf Observation Tower and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

As in many places in the Dunkelsteinerwald, here too you have the feeling of walking in a fairytale forest. The highlight is the lookout tower at Seekopf.

October 4, 2025,Runde von Rossatzbach auf Panoramaweg - Seekopf und zurück

@Deleted User ...thank you, dear Jakob. Editing the collages takes some time, but only because I take too many photos. 😄
Otherwise, I'm very skilled at it. I really enjoy it. I post them in my WhatsApp status for family and friends. That way, they can also be there as "stowaways."
I wish you a nice week and greetings from …

September 9, 2021,Vom PP Rossatz auf den Seekopf über Klause/Steinige Ries zurück

This hike is beautiful, especially in spring or autumn - because of the colors in nature. There are many views of the surroundings again and again, the types of trails are varied. Also suitable in summer, as you walk a lot in the forest. And the area offers many culinary options - after the tour we went to the Flösserei …

Jooh! A pioneer here published this beautiful hike and I spontaneously decided to do it, thank you for the donation 🙏! The date was fixed and 7 willing people set off in the weather we had ordered! Beautiful view from the Dechserlplatzerl and with the choreography of the sun we went along through the vines and then uphill, briefly steeper …

May 20, 2025,Von St. Lorenzen auf den Seekopf und übern Mugler wieder zurück GE

A beautiful tour from St. Lorenzen to the Seekopf and along partly unmarked paths to the Mugeln. The starting point is also on the Jankerlweg.

September 13, 2021,Von Rossatz auf den Seekopf

A nice tour from Rossatz to the Seekopf, which, however, turned out differently than planned due to the inadequate marking. The observation tower on the Seekopf offers a beautiful view of the Danube (unfortunately the pictures could not be positioned in the right place in Komoot🤔 - they can be found at the beginning of the picture gallery ...).

June 7, 2025,Von St.Lorenz nach Rossatz

A beautiful hike with a visit to a wine tavern at the end.

A bit steep at first, but with wonderful views of the Danube Valley, then a steady descent on good forest roads. A lush forest, mysterious animals (snakes and toads)
