European Watershed Monument Mühlviertel

Highlight • Monument

It points to a geological condition whereby the Rodl flows into the Danube and this in turn into the Black Sea, while on the other hand the Granitzbach flows into the Vltava, Elbe and North Sea.

The so-called "Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubiläumswarte" was built in 1898/99 and nowadays offers its visitors an amazing view. You can see the Böhmerland to Schöninger, the 1,111 meter high Viehberg near Sandl in the east and the Breitenstein in the south to the Ameisberg in the west. If the view is particularly clear, the chain of the northern limestone Alps from the Schneeberg to the Untersberg ski area near Gutenstein opens up on the horizon from southeast to southwest.

But be careful: For safety reasons, the control room is closed in the winter months (November to March).
