SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:
Eventful history of the Baumgartenberg monastery:
The monastery was founded on May 6, 1141 by Otto von Machland and his wife Juta von Peilstein. The monastery experienced a dramatic history of ups and downs until members of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd order from Suben came there in 1865.
Sr. M. Eufrasia put all her energy into creating a dignified home for those in need. The work of the sisters in Baumgartenberg is shaped by their spirituality:
„Inspired by the creative courage of St. Maria Eufrasia Pelletier, by her prophetic and radical response to the challenges of her time, we want to take a stand on the signs of our time and commit ourselves to them...“
Today the sisters devote themselves to a girls’ boarding school, various educational institutions, and valuable social pedagogical facilities for young people and adults. There is a labyrinth in the monastery garden that invites walking.
Here at Baumgartenberg monastery, new paths have been and are being set, there are opportunities for new beginnings, every person has their very special value, for every human soul is precious.
On the „Voralpenblickrunde“ I repeatedly pause and think / feel what my soul thirsts for, hungers for, what I
need to live a dignified, fulfilling life.
- What can I contribute with my abilities for the benefit of others?
Starting from the starting point in Baumgartenberg, we follow the Donausteig. After Amesberg, we cross the forest and turn right before Sperken. We follow the path and turn left into the forest before the last farmhouse. At Au, we keep right and return parallel to the main road on a side street towards Baumgartenberg. We cross the federal road and turn southwest onto a street which we follow to the starting point.Tip:

Lebensadern in der Landschaft
Alleen sind von Bäumen begrenzte Straßen oder Wege. Das Wort stammt aus der Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges und stammt von „aller“ = gehen ab, bezeichnete aber ursprünglich einen schattigen Gehweg in einem Garten. Auch vorher gab es schon baumbestandene Wegränder. Im ländlichen Bereich stand aber eher der Nutzen als die Architektur im Vordergrund. Alleen bieten dem Reisenden Schutz vor Sonne und dem Landwirt Schutz vor Wind, der den Humus seiner Felder abtragen würde. Oft liefern sie auch essbare Früchte (Most), früher auch Futter für die Tiere (Eicheln, belaubte Zweige) oder Heilmittel (Lindenblüten). Für die Natur sind sie als Biotope von Bedeutung und bieten z.B. vielen Vögeln Lebensraum. Hiervon profitiert auch wieder der Mensch, da diese vielfach Nützlinge sind.
Auch Klam und das Umland waren einst von der Pest geplagt - allein in Klam gibt es drei Pestsäulen, die an diese schreckliche Zeit erinnern. Ein Pestopfer konnte - auf etwas eigenwilligen Weg - der Seuche entfliehen. Mehr dazu in der Donau-Sage "Mist! - Was für ein Glück!".

An- und Abbau
Hier, etwas nördlich des Machlandes, erheben sich die südlichen Mühlvierter Randlagen, die einen Grenzbereich des Böhmischen Massivs zur Donauniederung darstellen. Es handelt sich meist um südexponierte, klimatisch begünstigte Bereiche, in denen im Mittelalter auch Weinbau betrieben wurde. Heute wird dieser kleinflächig wieder aufgenommen. Die Gegend ist landwirtschaftlich geprägt, Obstbäume sind typische Landschaftselemente. Durch das Urmeer Tethys gibt es weitreichende Sedimentablagerungen aus Sand und Schlier, Lössauflagen stammen aus dem Quartär. Vielerorts werden diese Rohstoffe abgebaut. Die südlichen Mühlviertler Randlagen beherbergen die letzten Refugien für wärmeliebende Lebensgemeinschaften. Gewässerflächen, Steilwände, Rohböden und aufgelassene Abbauflächen stellen weitere wertvolle Biotope dar.
Gibt es in der Nähe von Baumgartenberg gar noch zahlreiche Weinfässer unter der Erde? Wie dies geschah und wann die Möglichkeit besteht, den Wein aus der Erde zu holen, weiß die Donau-Sage "Der versunkene Wein".

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
