G4 Panoramaweg - Mitterbach

Beautiful circular route from Gasthof Kastler to Hussenstein and back again via St. Michael. The starting point for this hike across the beautiful Mühlviertel high plateau is the Forellenwirt inn in Mitterbach. From the Forellenwirt you walk past the fish ponds through a wooded area.

After this wooded area, the route continues for a short distance along the B 38, which you cross. Now follow the "Güterweg Fünfling" for a while, then the hiking trail branches off to the right to the legendary "Felsen vom Hussenstein".

In addition to the "Hussenstein" itself, there are many other rocks and stones of this type, which have been shaped into their present form by the weathering of wool sacks.

From the "Hussenstein", follow the markings in the direction of Oberrauchenödt into a valley incision. There you cross a small stream and turn right onto the forest road. After a few hundred metres, follow a forest path to the B38.

After crossing the B38 a second time, you will be rewarded with a marvellous panoramic view. A short way uphill and you will see the late Gothic church of St Michael on the left, which is definitely worth a visit. We also recommend a visit to the viewing platform with the panorama board to the west of the church. After a final stage of approx. 25 minutes, you will return to the Forellenwirt Kastler.
