Waldluftbadeweg Feldaist Kefermarkt

Forest air bathing in Kefermarkt

Kefermarkt is located in the Central Mühlviertel highlands. With the village of Harterleiten, the Aist-Naarn-Kuppenland still extends into the municipal area. Kefermarkt is part of several landscape organisms: the Freistädter Becken, the Kefermarkter Becken, the Kuppenland of Gutau / Lasberg and the Hochland of Neumarkt / Hagenberg. The centre of the Kefermarkt local organism is the vineyard, the effect of which is further enhanced by the nearby Buchberg. The village is famous for its pilgrimage church with its Gothic winged altar and the Weinberg Castle standing guard above it at the intersection of three landscape organisms.

Feldaist forest bathing trail

The hike along the Feldaist begins at the Ledermühle. Near the Ledermühle we find a thousand-year-old yew tree. The circular route through the wild and romantic Feldaist valley leads past massive rock formations, a strude hole stone and a stone with 26 holes. Arriving at the gorge mill, we climb up the gorge slope to the Teufelsstein. It is also known as the "Rieglbreitstoa" after the nearby farmstead or as the "Puttenstein" due to a horizontal belt-shaped scar around the centre. According to legend, this scar comes from an iron ring that surrounded the stone. The devil is said to have guarded a treasure here. We walk back down to the gorge mill and turn slightly upstream to the left into the gorge slope. Here the circular trail leads through the forest and over rocky terrain to the Pienkenhof. A very instructive nature trail then leads back to the Ledermühle. It not only serves to impart knowledge, but is also particularly suitable for relaxation and meditation. The Feldaist is also suitable for swimming!
