A trail for connoisseurs: experience nature, history and breathtaking views
Thestarting point of the 12.2-kilometre circular hike is the Benedictine abbey in Seitenstetten. From here, the trail heads south - past the mysterious Franzosenwald forest, where an artistically forged cross commemorates the fallen soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars.
The trail continues slightly uphill to the Sidlosberg (460 m). Once at the top, a picturesque view opens up over the Seitenstetten market town. Continue down into a lovely valley - past meadows and fields on the right, through the forest you now reach Trefflingtal, where you reach a bench with a wonderful view of Trefflingtal and St. Michael/Br.
Keep left here and follow the Ederrücken goods road to the Kummerlehen chapel (496 m). There you can take a short break - with a wonderful view:
To the north, the view extends as far as the Danube and far into the hilly Mühlviertel.
To the south, the panorama opens up over the Stiftswald forest and the idyllic villages of St. Michael with the Hubertus Chapel and Kürnberg with the Elisabethwarte.
From the Kummerlehen chapel, turn right downhill to the farm of the same name. Keep to the right and follow the gravel road to the Wagenbarth farm. The trail then continues downhill on the Binderlehen goods road (asphalt road) to the LH 88 country road. Turn left here and after around 1 km you reach the Hundsmühle - Sindhuber inn, which is ideal for a refreshing break.
After a break at the Hundsmühle - Sindhuber inn, continue in the same direction for around 250 meters until the next junction. There you follow the "Angerhof" farm road uphill to the left - a somewhat steep passage.
Continue past the Moar chapel, which you pass on the left, and follow the path to the next crossroads.
The path continues straight ahead, past the Gansberg and Orthfarmhouses, now reaching the chapel of the Krondorfer family (Orth), which is dedicated to the Holy Family. Immediately afterwards, the "Lammerhuberblick" invites you to take a short break - here a magnificent panorama opens up to the east and north.
From now on, the trail slowly descends again. The path leads through small forests, down to the main road, left to the Schintinger Chapel and finally via the Dachsbach settlement back towards Seitenstetten Abbey, where the circular hike comes to an end.
