Good viewpoint with a clear view, further up there are usually too many trees

Good viewpoint with an open view, at the top of Rothauptberg the trees are growing in front of the view

The path and the view over the orchards (Wine??) are quite beautiful 😉 But Ried im Innkreis is very far away, you are located south of Ampflwang in the Hausruckwald 🧐

tricky hiking trail, because in addition to large roots, there is also coarse washed-out gravel with fist-sized loose pebbles in the rather steep track

This is also a perfect route for the ascent, coming from Lukasberg/Eitzing - a continuously well-drivable gravel road with moderate incline

🚴♂️ I take a break here on almost every tour – for me, the Kellerbier is one of the best unfiltered beers in Upper Austria. The brewery is a perfect stopover on a bike tour through the Hausruckviertel. After the tour, Brauhaus Zipf invites you to stop in – whether with a hearty Brettljause or a freshly tapped Kellerbier (for those who have already finished their tour 😉).

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.
