Places of energy and power, hard stones - remnants, shell stones, wobbly stones - the Waldviertel is rich in stones. 350 million years ago, a high mountain range formed in Central Europe. Millions of years passed, the mountains weathered, seas covered the land, rocks and layers of earth were eroded and the stones of the Waldviertel emerged from the ground. The erosion and weathering that led to the appearance of the Härtlinge are estimated to be 10 million years old.

Description
Places of energy and power, hard stones - remnants, shell stones, wobbly stones - the Waldviertel is rich in stones. 350 million years ago, a high mountain range formed in Central Europe. Millions of years passed, the mountains weathered, seas covered the land, rocks and layers of earth were eroded and the stones of the Waldviertel emerged from the ground. The erosion and weathering that led to the appearance of the Härtlinge are estimated to be 10 million years old.
- safety instructions Make sure when choosing your route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the gastronomy businesses you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and maps in your backpack. For cross-border routes, always carry a passport or identity card.
- Equipment Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient supplies (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
- Route description The stone-rich circular route starts at the bus stop on the B38 and leads not only to stone formations such as the rocking stone or the camel stone, but also to energy and power places such as the mother-child stone, the eye spring, or the fertility stone. A wild romantic natural spectacle is the section Teufelsmühle – Höllgraben along the Elexenbach stream, where according to a legend the devil threw large boulders into the creek out of sheer rage over his betting loss. You can find more information about these stone formations in the folder “Stone Trail Langschlag.” On this hike, you can feel the forces of nature and use them for yourself.
- Getting there A22 and S5 or S33 to Krems - B37 to Zwettl - B38 to the town center of Langschlag
