Here you can gaze into the distance and discover the beautiful Danube Valley, the Sauwald opposite and the Mühlviertel. The Mühlviertel adjoins the Donauleitn to the north and conveys a certain tranquillity with its gently shaped ridges and hilltops. Granite and gneiss form the geological subsoil, which appear here and there as striking rock formations and weathered shapes. The acidic and nutrient-poor soils did not make it easy for agriculture, in addition to the harsh, cool and low-precipitation climate of the high altitudes. Typical of the region are hilly cultivated landscapes (Bühel), which contain various copses. In contrast, there are agrarian plateaus with little structure. Today, agriculture is very intensive, with dairy farming as the main sector. In the past, the cultivation of flax and hops as well as linen weaving were important sources of income alongside agriculture. The beer brewing tradition is still alive today. The devil once had riches and precious treasures. He buried his greatest treasure very close by, in Obermühl on the Teufelskirche. "The Devil's Money Laundering" tells the story of what else he used to do with his treasures. ![Gasthaus Koblmüller](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/392838/7862FF860093475421C4A6010E3D9A5176C789472CE56746374CD58E63BF04D6/gasthaus-koblmueller.jpg "Gasthaus Koblmüller") Gasthaus DA' WIRT Our home-style inn is located directly next to the church and has a newly designed guest garden in the inner courtyard (Viking courtyard with dungeon).

At the end of the 13th century, the "small church" is incorporated into the new building as a side aisle. On 24 April 1407 (St. George's Day), the new church is consecrated by the Bishop of Passau to St. Othmar as patron saint. ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/392732/684FD5564FE3741BE221C2FEB51579DB507EC8F6EED431E361ACE47640DBF1C3/jpg.jpg) Rastplatz Burgstall Info: Gemeindeamt Kirchberg ob der Donau Tel.: +43 (0) 72 82 / 4601 **Drei Landschaften auf einen Blick…** Hier darf der Blick in die Ferne schweifen und entdeckt dabei das wunderschöne Donautal, den Sauwald gegenüber und das Mühlviertel. Das Mühlviertel schließt nördlich an die Donauleitn an und vermittelt mit seinen sanft geformten Rücken und Kuppen eine gewisse Ruhe. Den geologischen Untergrund bilden Granite und Gneise, die da und dort als markante Felsbildungen und Verwitterungsformenhervortreten. Die sauren und nährstoffarmen Böden machten es der Landwirtschaft nicht leicht, dazu kommt das raue, kühle und niederschlagsarme Klima der Hochlagen. Regionstypisch sind hügelige Kulturlandschaften (Bühel), die diverse Feldgehölze enthalten. Demgegenüber stehen strukturarme agrarische Plateaus. Heute wird sehr intensive Landwirtschaft betrieben, mit Milchwirtschaft als Hauptsparte. Früher waren neben der Landwirtschaft der Anbau von Flachs und Hopfen sowie die Leinenweberei wichtige Einkommen. Die Bierbrautradition ist heute nach wie vor lebendig. Der Teufel hatte einst Reichtümer und kostbare Schätze. Seinen größten Schatz vergrub er ganz in der Nähe, in Obermühl auf der Teufelskirche. ["Des Teufels Geldwäscherei"](http://www.donauregion.at/detail/article/des-teufels-geldwaescherei.html) erzählt davon, was er sonst noch mit seinen Schätzen zu tun pflegte. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
