P4 Obere Feldaistrunde

The P4 hiking trail - Oberes Feldaisttal

From the church square, cross the town square at the passageway next to the town hall and turn left across the car park down to the Kulturhaus Bruckmühle (which also houses the regional music school). After the Aist bridge, turn right into the Obere Feldaisttal. The path continues along the Aist and crosses over to the other bank at the second bridge. There you will find a hammer mill from the 16th century. Turn left and you will soon reach the Pürmühle mill, which was owned by King Ottokar of Przemysl around 1251. Further upstream, you walk through the so-called Fuchsschweif, pass a beautiful pitch oil stone and cross a bridge to reach the Kumpfmühle, whose origins date back around 1000 years. The current owner has lovingly restored it over many years and is happy to show it to visitors as a museum. The path leads back down the right bank of the Aist to the bridge at the Ledermühle, a sawmill. From there, you walk uphill on a path, cross the railway and return to the start via Marktleiten and the car park behind the town hall.
