Description:

The hike to the Gobelwarte starts at the festival ground (gravel parking lot next to the Generations-Motorikpark® below the Danube federal road). At first through the Am Hofberg district, then over a well-maintained hiking trail gently ascending, with a beautiful view of Grein, to the Labegger farm. Further along a field path to "Plank" and on the street to the "Gobelwarte rest area." Opposite the Hubertus chapel, turn right uphill to the Gobelwarte, newly built in 2018. At an altitude of 484 m, the spectacular 21 m high steel structure offers a fantastic 360-degree panoramic view, to the north over the Mühlviertel hills, to the south over the Alps, west to the Marchland, and east to Grein and the Strudengau. The return route goes via the "Nombergersteig" (No. 2). From the chapel, follow the street to the right to the "Nomberger" farm, then follow the markings through the forest back to Grein.

Tip:
Another option for the return is the Gobel gravel road, passing the "Kren" farm and continuing via the Groißgraben gravel road, then left to the Binderalm inn, which invites you to a cozy rest with a view of Grein. Then continue through a short forest section back down towards the center.Safety guidelines:
