The Heidenstein lies in the centre of the beautiful, gently undulating Mühlviertel. A rock formation made of coarse Weinsberg granite, it was used thousands of years ago as a meeting place for the peoples living and travelling through the area. It is believed that festivals were held here eight times a year, where not only politics and trade took place, but also judgements were held, according to records found in the surrounding archives.
