It is located in the eastern part of the municipality of St. Georgen am Walde and forms a steeply sloping hillside to the east, known as the "Graben". The mountain has always been of great importance to the population, whether it was when the Hussite storms roared through the country or the wild hordes of the French roamed - the castle offered people refuge. It is unclear whether this took place in natural fortifications or whether a castle stood here at the time. The trail leads from the pavilion eastwards through beautiful forest and meadow paths downhill to the Blümelbach stream, then climbs slightly through the forest to the Burgstall. At 949 metres above sea level, it is the highest elevation in the district of Perg. Hikers are rewarded with a marvellous view over the Mühlviertler Alm as far as the Alps. Brave hikers can take the climb through the legendary "Devil's Gorge". Continue through the forest to the Einsiedelmauer with a view of Dorfstetten, or take the shortcut through the forest. A romantic path leads to the Gebetsberger snack station. After a refreshment stop, you return through the Stieglgraben to Linden and St. Georgen.
