Details for: Stone Trail Langschlag
Brief description
Energy and power places, hard rocks - remnants, bowl stones, rocking stones - the Waldviertel is rich in stones.
350 million years ago, a high mountain range folded in Central Europe. Millions of years passed, the mountains weathered, seas covered the land, rocks and layers of earth were eroded, and from the ground came the stones of the Waldviertel. The washouts and weathering that led to the appearance of the hard rocks are estimated to be 10 million years old.

Route description Stone Trail Langschlag
The stone-rich circular route starts at the bus stop on the B38 and leads not only to stone formations such as the rocking stone or the camel stone, but also to energy and power places such as the mother-child stone, the eye spring, or the fertility stone. A wild romantic natural spectacle is the section Teufelsmühle – Höllgraben along the Elexenbach stream, where according to a legend the devil threw large boulders into the creek out of sheer rage over his betting loss. You can find more information about these stone formations in the folder “Stone Trail Langschlag.” On this hike, you can feel the forces of nature and use them for yourself.
