Schlossblickrunde

Demanding circular hiking trail with "ups and downs" in extremely varied landscapes; medium-difficulty day tour

The circular route starts at the market square in St. Martin i. M. You follow the "Schlossblickrunde" signposts to the Großpremser riding estate. There you have marvellous views of the Bohemian Forest and the Alps. After the Premser pond, the trail briefly follows farm tracks before branching off to the left into the forest. Hikers reach the Danube through the wild and romantic Draßenbach valley. Here the path leads upstream along the Danube cycle path. Finally, you reach the Donaublick Kettenturm and the Danube village of Untermühl via the well-secured rocky path. After a refreshment stop at the inn, the path leads uphill past the stone wall, over the steps and past the 500-year-old oak tree to Neuhaus Castle. After the Meierhof, turn right downhill to Falkenbach, then right over the bridge and uphill to Bockhübel with its panoramic views. Continue through the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel on the goods road to Grub and in the forest to the Auhäusern. From there, turn right again on forest and meadow paths to the Adsdorf farm and continue to the starting point.
