Grottenweg Böheimkirchen

The Grottenweg begins in the center of Böheimkirchen. There is a café and several restaurants to have a snack before the hike. It starts heading west across the Michelbach bridge. After a few meters, turn left to reach the village of Hinterberg. At the end of the settlement, there is an unmarked intersection where you must turn right. Then follow a field path uphill to the Kronberg (347m). At the next field path intersection, keep left. Then walk along the ridge of the Kronberg at the forest edge. After a small seating area, the path turns into the forest. After the forest, you come to an intersection with the WIR circular trail at the border to the Kirchstetten municipality. Here turn left and follow this path north. After crossing a road, you come again to an unmarked intersection at the forest edge. Here turn right into the forest. You are now in the wild and romantic Haspelwald and can follow the green-red “MW” markers. Finally, you reach the highlight of the route: the grotto “Maria im Walde”. The 2009-built place of worship in a clearing invites you to linger. From the grotto, head west, i.e. left. In this direction, there are 3 paths; choose the third from the left. On narrow but level forest paths, keep left, after about one kilometer you reach a clearing with a view over the Tullnerfeld. From here, the path follows the forest edge downhill. Upon reaching a gravel road after a few meters, turn left. After about 200 meters, the path enters the forest again. Here keep right until you reach another clearing with a view of the village of Lanzendorf. The forest then ends after about 300 meters at a water reservoir. From here, follow an asphalted farm road downhill, enjoying the view of Böheimkirchen and the Ötscher. At the foot of the mountain, the path winds around the Schreckhäusl farm. You reach the main road and turn left onto it. You then continue straight on a gravel path before the bridge over the Weisching towards Kronbergmühle. At this point, cross a small bridge to the right and then immediately left over a meadow towards the town center. You cross two more bridges until you reach the built-up area near the start point again.
