Kirnberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castle with rectory
A Maganus de Churnperge is mentioned around 1130. His castle has long since completely disappeared, but was located on the site of the later dean's office or castle. The last woman from Kirnberg was Judith, the daughter of Otto von Kirnberg, who still appears in documents in 1208. The new owners, the Lords of Plankenstein, then had the castle, which is referred to as such in 1338, partially demolished and today's parish church built in its place.

Hochsteinberg Alpine Hut and View over the Mostviertel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Fantastic view to the Lower Austria Mostviertel. Currently closed, opens again in the spring.
So far there was an excellent kitchen, in the spring takes over a new tenant. I will report.

Viewpoint at Almhaus Hochsteinberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

At Almhaus Hochsteinberg there is an exemplary designed e-bike filling station with a wheel stand where wide tires also fit. Charging cables for various batteries (e.g. Shimano, Bosch) are also already available and permanently connected to a power distributor. Simple instructions explain the operation. Great idea and well implemented. Is ideal for imitation.
This will now be my point of contact on a bike tour more often. Here you can enjoy a good snack with a great view.
