On hiking trail no. 31a, hikers experience an impressive interplay of the elements wood, stone and water!
The druids were the cultic and spiritual elite in Celtic society. Numerous myths surround them and the unique stone formations. The Druid Trail - Peilsteinblick, No. 31a leads to the Kaltenberg with its mystical stone circles, bowl stones and special stories about Celtic customs.
Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, map material, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snacks, muesli bars, fruit, water)
Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your fitness level. Check if the restaurants you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and map material in your backpack.
The starting point is the Peilsteinblick inn in Stangles. The path leads past the Liedlmühle farm to the Perndlschmiede (waterwheel) in Pisching. At the church, we cross the street and hike steeply uphill to the Kaltenberg cross (not the highest point but the view is worth seeing). Over the ridge you first go slightly downhill and then uphill again to the "Böndel" (a hilltop) and further to the "Sphinx", which seems to watch over the region. Following the 31a marker, you reach the "Sitting Dog", the "Standing Bowl", as well as the "Outer and Inner Stone Circle" (Druid meeting point). Hiking gently downhill, you reach the "Large Bowl" and the impressive "Living Cave". The descent takes place via the forest road to Siebendürfting back to the Peilsteinblick inn.
