From the Engelhartszell market town hall, the route leads through Marktstraße and Siedlungstraße to the outdoor pool and on to the Jochenstein power station, which owes its name to the granite block in the Danube. It is said that the devil wanted to drown all the believers in Passau. He worked all night, but as he was about to place the last rock on the wall, the bell of Engelszell Abbey rang out and the wall shattered. Enraged, the devil hurled the last rock into the river bed - the "Jochenstein". The Jochenstein power station was built between 1952 and 1956 as the largest river power station in Central Europe. The way back leads past the "Bernhards" restaurant uphill into the forest until you reach "Karlhütt" and then "Ziehobl" after approx. 30 minutes. The route then continues for approx. 1.5 km along a goods road, past the village of Raad. Turn left and hike downhill back to Engelhartszell.
