The townscape is characterised by many original farmhouses with their bare stone walls. From the hill of the "Hergottsitz" (allegedly an early Christian place of worship and sacrifice), there is a magnificent panoramic view, which on clear days makes the Alps seem close enough to touch. After the start, you hike via the Hofinger Chapel and through the so-called Spielreith, soon after which you reach the small Naarn. Upstream you walk through a wild and romantic valley to the ruins of the Apostelmühle mill. This once belonged to 12 farmers from the area around Mötlas, hence the name. The mill was still in operation until the early 1950s. You then cross the Naarn and walk through the typical Mühlviertel cultural landscape past the Pferdeschwemme to the Gstöttner riding park. Continue past the deer park to the "Schmallehner", a Mühlviertel farmhouse that has been almost completely preserved in its original state. From there, you can enjoy a leisurely hike back down to Schönau.
