Description Destination

This 6 km long loop leads to the Kühstein, the Pfaffenhaus and the Drucker-Franzl-Stein. The Kühstein was probably a pagan sacrificial site and a hilltop castle stood on its summit. Today there is a summit cross with a summit book here. It is also a popular climbing area. The Pfaffenhaus and the Drucker-Franzl-Stein are 2 caves. The Pfaffenhaus served as a hiding place for priests during the Hussite Wars and the Drucker-Franzl-Stein was a robbers' den (the printer Franzl was a feared and well-known robber who caused trouble in the Mühlviertel).
The starting point and parking lot is at the Eschernhof snack bar (many people also park next to the road between Eschernhof and Oberpeilstein, but these are not official parking lots).
The path runs along the Stoanaweg with the numbers 11 and 11 a. From the car park, the route first goes downhill along the farm track to Oberpeilstein until the path to Kühstein branches off to the right (signpost). In the forest turn left to the summit. From here, return and take the Stoanaweg straight through the forest to Stratberg, past the caves and back to the starting point.
When climbing Kühstein, keep an eye on your children as there are no safety barriers and it is very exposed, especially in the summit area. The cave entrances are not located next to the path, but have to be searched for. However, the rock formations with the caves are marked with signs.
Several geocaches are hidden (www.geocaching.com). Don't forget your flashlight for the caves. The path is not suitable for strollers, so bring a baby carrier for the little ones.
