A definite recommendation for anyone who needs to get out of the city and is looking for a destination! Thanks to the various ascent options, the tour can be tailored to individual time constraints and adapts to all lifestyles! Fantastic!!

The Dunkelstein (625m) near St. Pölten is an easily accessible destination with a summit cross, ideal for a short hike without any special requirements, often combined with the summit cross at the Hennesteck for a beautiful view, as the Dunkelstein itself is mostly surrounded by trees; a tip is to combine the loop with the nearby, scenic summit to have the full experience with summit register and panoramic view.

At 625 meters above sea level, the Dunkelstein is the highest point in the southern Dunkelstein Forest. An iron high stand was erected near the summit in 1931 for the purpose of surveying. This was blown up by the German Wehrmacht in 1945. The concrete foundations and remnants of the latticework can still be seen today not far from the summit cross.

Beautiful shrine in the middle of the Dunkelsteinerwald with an information point for the hiking trail "Dunkelsteinerwaldrunde".
