Franzosenhütte Rundweg

12 Franzosenhütte (circular route 9,700 m)
You start at the large car park through the Pfarrerwald forest and hike up the valley to the "Stelzhamer spring". You reach the Gruber (1,900 m) through woods, meadows and fields. At the Prinz farm you reach the hill and can now walk at an easy pace towards the Kempbach valley. After crossing the road, turn left before the transformer (3,150m) and walk along the stream. After the stream, turn slightly right and then left down the hill. After the bridge (3,950m) you pass the Leimer house (4,475m).
Cross the road, turn left and walk along the path in front of the Kriechbaumer chapel. When you stand on the dome, you can enjoy a marvellous panorama over the valley and the Mühlviertel hills. Continue down the valley to the Franzosenhütte (5,800m), where you can take a short break. Then walk a short distance along the road and turn right at Haus Palmetshofer (6,390m). At the Marthofer crossroads (7,390m), take the fork to the right up a dirt track. At the Wenigwieser house, turn right and walk up the goods road and via the Maria Hilf Chapel (9,000m) you return to the village.
