Hinterwaldweg No. 224

From the marketplace, we walk over the Hohen Rain to Aschen and from there to Hamet. Just after the last farmhouse on the path, turn right down into the forest, then left along the creek to the Panhalm bridge on the road. At the curve before the bridge, a tractor track leads toward Schnotzendorf, where we then turn right and walk a short distance on the road toward Randegg. In the hollow, we climb up to Almesberg, then continue toward Lehen, where we then descend left to the Grabenmühle. Past the Grabenmühle house, it goes a short distance along the main road L 6113 and then back up to Niederaigen. There, upon reaching the large intersection, a street leads left between the farmhouses to the spur path that leads to Hinterberg. At the Hinterberg intersection, we march straight uphill to the bench and then continue through the forest down to Völkrahof. The road along the way takes us through Obergafring toward Euratsfeld. At Gießhübl, we walk right up through the settlement. Along Hochkogelstraße, it goes back to the starting point.

Light hiking shoes/equipment recommended

From the A1/Amstetten West or Amstetten East exit via the B1 to Euratsfeld. The route is well signposted with "Euratsfeld" or "Randegg."

By train to Amstetten and from there by bus to Euratsfeld.

Parking is possible in the town center at Mockplatz, Vetterplatz, and at the parish community center.

The Marien Chapel in Niederaigen is easily accessible via a short detour of a few minutes. The path over Almesberg and Lehen down to the Grabenmühle offers especially beautiful views during the pear blossom. With a wonderful view into the Hinterwald and of the Hochkogel, it is worth resting on the bench at Völkrahof.
