Hiking on the Geisbühel
A hike up the 849 m high Geisbühel (Josef Franz Hut), passing the castle ruins (495 m), is a worthwhile destination for a day trip. From there you enjoy a magnificent view over the foothills with the distinctive silhouette of the Ötscher. Rabenstein is not only on the “Great Pielachtal circular trail 652” but also the European long-distance path E4 and the pilgrimage route to Mariazell run through the municipality in the “Valley of the Cornelian cherries.”
Since 2009 a “feel-good hiking trail” complements the approximately 100 km marked hiking trail network.
