Once again, we experience the Waldviertel from its most beautiful side, whether the view from the Wachtstein, the break in the shade of the Franzosenstein, or the (foot) bath in the Weyrer Pond - the temptation to "let time lie" is great again today!

Off the beaten track A local nature lover drew my attention to this hike around Schönbach. Passing granite bocks, dilapidated mills and remote farms, it is a tour that traces the beauty of the Waldviertel and is possible in almost any weather. A sense of direction is required on the way back from Stein, otherwise there are no problems on the figure-of-eight circuit. The fact that it overlaps in Schönbach is a plus, as the tour can be undertaken in one go or in two stages (2.30 or 3.30 hours).
