Heart Stone Route - Yspertal No. 34

From Ysper, the path leads along the road towards St. Oswald to the entrance of the forest nature trail; then follow the marking, and after about 400 m the path branches off to the left onto a gravel road, from where it goes uphill on beautiful forest paths through tall mixed forests to the Weißberg. There it joins the circular route from St. Oswald (see route No. 11). Stages include the "Large Riding Stone" and the legendary "Stone Kornmandl". Shortly afterwards, near the tool shed, a short side path leads to the "Skull" and the Weißberg cross. Back at the shed, continue on the path to the imposing "Heart Stone". There the paths split again towards St. Oswald and Ysper. Walking a few hundred meters towards Dorfstetten, you will see the Hauswiesenmoor (special plant world – please do not enter!). On the return route, you pass some viewpoints, encounter the panorama path and the forest nature trail, and reach the market square of Ysper again.
