Stift Melk Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Quaint, small log cabin that probably belongs to Melk Abbey. Ideal for a rest in the forest!

The powder tower is at the apex of Hiesbergstrasse (between St. Leonhard and Melk). Here, however, only the sign on a cut stump reminds of the former ammunition depot of the Melker barracks. Only a piece of the foundations from the watchman's house can still be seen on the left road towards Melk.

Ideal place to take a short break and enjoy nature.

Rogers-Weisser-Stein

Highlight • Natural Monument

A very large boulder next to the forest road.

Can be ideally visited on a hike on the stone circuit (this includes the White Stone, Rogelstein, Great Stone, and the ruins of Zelking).

Möselsteg

Highlight • Bridge

The Möselsteg was classified as at risk of collapse on November 5, 2019 and was therefore blocked for use.

This bridge was dismantled on February 26, 2020.

The municipality of Zelking-Matzleinsdorf is planning a new construction for summer 2020.
