Details for: From Scheibbs to the lonely tree
Brief description
The lonely tree – a popular destination for extended walks among the people of Scheibbs, as several paths lead to it. A significant spot created by nature here. The full meaning of the term is revealed to the visitor when viewing the hill on which the tree stands, south of Scheibbs – a giant standing alone on a mountain ridge with a wide-spreading crown, framed only by the horizon.
Description
We start in front of the town hall and turn right into the narrow Rathausgasse, a pedestrian shortcut to the Gürtel. Here we first go left and at the next opportunity right into Berggasse. Our path leads through a cozy residential area along Blassensteinweg steadily uphill to Ginning at the Pastelöd house. Here our route turns slightly left and descends again toward Sollböck. We cross the federal road and then go straight ahead on a forest path always along the mountain ridge to our destination at the lonely tree. The return route leads straight ahead through the Armenwald to the Punzengrub house. Now we follow the Hochweinberg farm track downhill, past the Windhag house and the organic cider tavern Fenzl with its beautiful orchard meadow back into the residential area. We are now on the Hochweinberg path which leads us back into the town. Along the elongated Feldgasse, past the state clinic, to the main street and back to our starting point at Rathausplatz.
