Steinbloss-Wall-Way

The "stoanige Landschaft" of the Mühlviertel can be seen at every turn on this circular hiking trail. The 12.5 km long hiking trail leads past numerous old "Steinbloß" farmsteads with newly erected "Steinbloß" outbuildings, brick-built or laid stone walls - either made of so-called "boulders" or quarry granite - sometimes even on paths paved with stones. Along the way, hikers experience the many different uses of "Mühlviertel granite". The attentive observer encounters the stones at houses, window, door, gate and cred stones, as boundary stones (Moarstein) on meadow and field paths, stones on hills and slopes or in the stream bed as a boundary. A section is also dedicated to the use of stones in modern architecture.
