Directions:
From the town center, past the Treetop Trail grounds, the trail climbs steadily to the Feichtberg with its radar station (777 m). The area stretching from the Feichtberg over the Ameisberg to the Ach quarry is the inspiration behind the name “Blick ins Land” (View of the Countryside). The absolute highlight of this hiking route is the Ameisberg with the Hochholzstein, a place of worship and sacrifice. Viewed from the Hochholzstein, Kopfing literally lies at your feet. The view continues across the Hausruck into the Alpine foothills, stretching as far as the Eisenwurzen, the Sengsen Mountains, Traunstein, the Höllengebirge, Schafberg, Untersberg, and Watzmann. On particularly clear days, you can also see the majestic Alpine peaks such as the Ötscher, the Eisenerzer Alps, the Gesäuse, the Totes Gebirge with the Großer Priel, the Dachstein, the Tennengebirge, the Hochkönig, and the Loferer Steinberge. About 200 meters from the Hochholzstein, now surrounded by high forest, lie several massive, mystical, and even mythical boulders. It cannot be ruled out that this site may have served as a place of worship or sacrifice for the Celts. These stones are said to radiate “positive energy”—which some visitors find quite “palpable.” Another highlight along this trail is the former quarry in Ach. An idyllic lake has formed here, promising a refreshing respite on hot summer days. The route continues downhill through a shady mixed forest to Neukirchendorf, Dobl, and back to Kopfing via the Götzenberg.Tip:
