Round hike through "Schwarzwalstern"
The Brother Klaus Church, romantically situated on the northern shore of Lake Hubertussee, was the first church in Austria to be dedicated to the Swiss Nicholas of Flüe. In the artfully designed windows of the church, which is often chosen by wedding couples for their wedding ceremony, the life of Brother Klaus is depicted.
Stop for refreshments: Wuchtelwirtin - Gasthaus Reininger, Tel.: +43 3882 2235 (approx. 20 minutes walk from the lake).

Coming from St. Pölten in Freiland turn left towards St. Aegyd, drive through Hohenberg and St. Aegyd, on the pass "Gscheid" turn right towards Ulreichsberg, then follow the sign towards Hubertussee.
We keep to the right and reach the Fadental. Since there is unfortunately no place to stop here, we walk a short distance on the access road and then turn right onto the forest road into "Schnittlermoos". Here we hike out of the valley along the "small lake" to the lake Hubertussee and come back to our starting point, the Bruder Klaus church. Now we can hike along the "lake Hubertussee feel-good trail" a little further to the "Wuchtlwirtin", which, as the name suggests, is famous for its Wuchtln - so this detour should be worth the effort!!!
If we park the car at the dam, we can start right there and walk downhill to the bridge.
