After a long walk uphill in the forest, you suddenly find yourself in front of this beautiful little pilgrimage church. Unfortunately, you can only view the interior from the outside through the lattice gate.

Gasthof Haudum & Speck Workshop

Highlight • Restaurant

Good place to stay overnight if you are doing a multi-day hike in the area. For granite pilgrims and power-source tree hikers, this accommodation is not only conveniently located, but also offers a great breakfast. Fried eggs and bacon from the farm's own production can be provided on request. Sensationally good!!!

Helfenberg Castle or Revertera Castle (built around 1600) with its artfully trimmed yew avenue is particularly beautiful. In the castle park there are figures by the sculptor Magnus Angermeier, who lives in Eschelberg.

My 14 km circular tour, marked as a "3-Theme Trail" and also as a "Power Source Tree Trail," began at the Frellerhof Inn. My first destination was the "Maria Rast" Forest Cross Chapel. The chapel belongs to the Helfenberg parish. Celtic stone circles bear witness to a cult site in pre-Christian times. In the chapel annex, a stone with three …
