Following the signposting, we proceed along a short, steep forest path until we reach the last station of the cross path. Following the markings, we go through the forest, over the forest road to the Brauner Farm. We follow the asphalt road, past the hiking trail junction (Donausteig, Steyregger Runde) and at a solitary oak tree, to the left past the barrier of the forest road, into the forest. About 0.5 km further, after a distinctive curve, we leave the forest road and go right up to the 3 Buchen Cross.**Equipment:** Hiking backpack (including rain cover), sturdy footwear**Additional information:** [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4221 Steyregg **Destination:** 4221 Steyregg **duration:** 3h 19m **length:** 10,9 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 364m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 364m **Lowest point:** 251m **Highest point:** 615m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Path / trail, Gravel, Street, Other **Starting point:** Linzer Straße bus stop at Stadtgarten/kindergarten **Destination:** Linzer Straße bus stop at Stadtgarten/kindergarten **further information:** - Circular route [ ![Altitude profile 3 Buchen Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008164&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile 3 Buchen Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008164&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "3 Buchen Trail") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- Gasthaus Daxleitner Das Traditionsgasthaus Daxleitner - früher Taxleitner gibt es beinahe schon ewig!

Wie große Hallen erscheinen einem die hochwüchsigen Wälder. Durch Nutzungsintensivierung und Umwandlung in Fichtenforste war und ist dieser Waldtyp gefährdet. Naturnahe Mischwälder gibt es deshalb leider kaum mehr. Eine Ausnahme ist der Großraum um Linz. Großflächige, wüchsige, buchendominierte Wälder konnten sich hier in Großwaldbesitzungen und Bauernwäldern erhalten. In den Großwäldern fehlt die historische Übernutzung und so stellen sie wertvolle Reste dieses Waldtypes dar. Im Unterwuchs finden sich Hainsimse, Wald-Habichtskraut und Mauerlattich. Altholzreiche Bucheninseln sind z.B. wichtig für den Schwarzspecht, der seine Wohnung gerne in freistehende Buchen zimmert. Am Pfenningberg trieben sich einst viele Wölfe herum. Wie eines Nachts ein Schneider noch mal mit dem Leben davongekommen ist, als er einem Wolf begegnete, erzählt die Donau-Sage ["Der mit dem Wolf geigt"](http://www.donauregion.at/detail/article/der-mit-dem-wolf-geigt.html). ![Stadtwirt Pacino](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/415795/876BB2C683AF5396E9531B835105E39FCCE73BD5DBB4D839ACE5766A52B924B2/stadtwirt-pacino.jpg "Stadtwirt Pacino") Stadtwirt Pacino 1. 2. 3. 4.
