Description
Ask your parents how you were born? That would be embarrassing. Nevertheless, it would be very interesting to know more about the circumstances of your own "creation". Were you wanted? A wanted child or an "accident" of a night of love?
Distance yourself from the image of your parents: Parents have not always been father and mother. They were also husband and wife, lovers, lovers, they had plans for the future, fears and hopes. Like you, they were preoccupied with the big issue of love.
- Route description Right at the beginning, it goes up a “holy” mountain. Whoever conquers the Peilstein has reached a real summit! The reward is a view into the high Waldviertel. Afterwards, the path follows the ridge, and for several kilometers it goes through forest outside the settlement area. Be sure to take enough provisions: The only catering point on this monster stage is the guesthouse “Rote Säge,” and after that, there are still several valleys and mountains ahead!
