Pyramidenweg 53 Zwettl

Starting at the ice skating rink, you go over the footbridge and on the other side of the river arm turn left into the romantic Zwettl valley along the Zwettl (Graselhöhle). You leave the forest experience trail at the small wooden bridge heading towards Syrafeld. From there the path gently ascends to the Roblmühle, via Guttenbrunn to Rosenau Castle with a remarkable Freemason museum, and continues through the Finstergraben and the Alm to the Steinberg with the only stone pyramid in Central Europe. Near Kleinmeinharts, you follow the hiking trail via Jahrings, Waldhams, and Syrafeld back through the Zwettl valley to the starting point.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).

Note: From Syrafeld, the Pyramid Trail leads back again into the Zwettl valley. Due to the detour, a rerouting took place in the Syrafeld-Moidrams area; the Pyramid Trail will now in its last section lead back into the Zwettl valley and no longer, as in the original route, back to Zwettl via Moidrams. And this signage has not yet been implemented.

Make sure when choosing your route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the gastronomy businesses you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and maps in your backpack. For cross-border routes, please always carry a passport or identity card.
