Beautifully maintained resting place at exactly 1000 m above sea level. Spring water is also drinkable. (No notice "Not for drinking")

The Sternstein is 1125 m high and is located in the municipality of Vorderweißenbach. It is the highest elevation in the central Mühlviertel. The Sternsteinwarte, built in 1899, invites you to take a panoramic view from Bohemia to the Alps.

A beautiful little peak, surrounded by trees and with a lookout towering above it! Wonderful view of the country!

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the spring catchment. No idea whether it is open or closed and therefore also suitable for drinking water. I no longer drink from open spring catchments, where all kinds of animals can frolic in them. The place invites you to take a break - it is well placed and beautifully done.
