Beautifully maintained resting place at exactly 1000 m above sea level. Spring water is also drinkable. (No notice "Not for drinking")

The Sternstein is 1125 m high and is located in the municipality of Vorderweißenbach. It is the highest elevation in the central Mühlviertel. The Sternsteinwarte, built in 1899, invites you to take a panoramic view from Bohemia to the Alps.
