Tips from the Community
Göblberg lookout tower – One of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Hausruckviertel Anyone who simply drives past here misses out on one of the region's most beautiful panoramas. After climbing the wooden tower, a breathtaking 360° panoramic view opens up in clear weather – from the Höllengebirge, Traunstein, Dachstein and the peaks of the Salzkammergut, far into the Alpine foothills. The tower is located at an altitude of 790 m and is easily accessible by both bicycle and on foot. Quiet forest paths and forest roads around the Göblberg invite you to a relaxing tour. A unique atmosphere prevails here, especially at sunrise or sunset. 💡 My tip: Take a few minutes and definitely climb up – the view is worth every single step! With föhn wind or clear autumn air, the view often extends for many kilometers to the Alps.

a very inconspicuous summit (actually not a summit at all) but a summit cross 😉

A beautiful cross adorns the larch summit, which is easily accessible via forest paths.
