At 855 metres, the steep rocky outcrop is also the highest point in Schönau. On a clear day, there are marvellous panoramic views as far as the Alpine foothills. The Herrgottsitz is located on hiking trail no. 80 approx. 1.5 km north-west of Schönau. The Lord God is said to have rested in the seat-shaped hollow at the top of the hill and looked out over the Mühlviertel hills with a gentle smile.
