Donausteig-Gipfel "Wetzelstein"

Highest elevation in the Mühlviertel loop of the Donausteig hiking trail; fantastic view into the distance – Ötscher, Gobelwarte/Grein, Kollmitzberg

The seven summits of the Donausteig hiking trail!
 
Even summiteers can enjoy the Danube region to the fullest. In Upper Austria we even speak of the “seven summits” of the Donausteig hiking trail. The highest summit of the Donausteig can be found directly by Vichtenstein: The “Haugstein” with its 895m is the highest elevation of the Sauwald region and a true highlight.
The viewing tower “Burgstall” is the highest point directly at the Danube. At the “Donaublick” near Ottensheim you have a beautiful view over the Eferdinger basin and even a summit cross and book are available. The “Pfenningberg” is an idyllic summit surrounded by forest with a magnificent view to the city Linz. 
At the border between the Machland and Strudengau region in Grein lies the “Gobelwarte”. From the observation point both landscape zones are visible. The highest point of the Mühlviertel loop of the Donausteig is the panorama view “Wetzlstein” with a fantastic view to the “Ötscher” and the “Gobelwarte” in Grein. The last view into the Strudengau region and thus, also the last sight of the Upper Austrian Danube is offered by the “Predigtstuhl” in Sarmingstein.
