Wonderful circular hike away from the hustle and bustle in the hilly Mühlviertel landscape. The legend of the devil (information board at the summit cross) is really brilliant, a clever farmer😜

Such rock formations are more commonly found further north in the Mühlviertel region. A great destination for a day trip that is easy to reach or can be explored via a beautiful circular hiking trail: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2058392409
