Shortly after the starting point in Kaltenberg, at the first farm along the trail, you can marvel at a 300-year-old listed lime tree.

This is followed by an impressive ascent to the Rifflberg. A fantastic panorama awaits you here: a sweeping view of the Mühlviertel hills in the direction of Sandl. You should definitely plan some time to linger here before heading back to Kaltenberg. **The trail** The Obergrabenweg is a circular hiking trail. With a length of 7.5 km and an elevation gain of around 230 metres, it is suitable for a two-hour hike. In wet weather, good footwear is recommended for the hike. **Refreshments along the way** At the starting point in Kaltenberg, the traditional [**Kaltenbergerhof**](https://www.muehlviertel-almfreistadt.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/430000131/kaltenbergerhof.html) inn with its traditional cuisine invites you to stop for a bite to eat.
