Offenburg ruin

Open
The Offenburg ruins are located west of Pöls on a foothill of the Ederkogel, which stretches south towards the Pölstal valley. Use the tour to escape from everyday life.
Hiking...With respect for wildlife and the environment!

In the Pölstal, we are particularly concerned about the preservation of unspoiled nature. So that the pleasure of the people does not become a problem for wild animals and nature, it requires consideration measures. 

For the sake of nature and the environment, correct behavior in the mountains is the top priority for the hiking enthusiast.

- Use the designated parking areas

- Do not block access roads and please respect local driving regulations

- Observe information boards at the starting points and stick to the recommended marked routes

- Avoid approaching wildlife

More information

The Pöls elementary school is located right in the center of Pöls. The tour starts from there.
Von der Volksschule aus führt der Weg in Richtung Offenburger Straße und weiter nach Oberkurzheim. Die Naturstraße schlängelt sich vorbei an der gemütlichen Jausenstation “Offenburger Bergbauernstube”. An einer Gabelung biegt man rechts ab und begibt sich zur Ruine Offenburg. Die Überreste dieser historischen Stätte sind ein faszinierendes Zeugnis vergangener Zeiten. Nachdem man die Ruine passiert hat, setzt man den Weg fort bis zum ehemaligen Hof Schachmoar, wo man links abbiegt. Die Forststraße führt einen schließlich zurück zum Ausgangspunkt dieser malerischen Wanderung.

Die Ruine Offenburg erzählt stumme Geschichten von längst vergangenen Tagen, während der Hof Schachmoar mit seiner rustikalen Schönheit und dem Hauch von Nostalgie die Fantasie beflügelt. Die Forststraße bietet einen angenehmen Rückweg, umgeben von dichtem Grün und dem beruhigenden Rauschen der Bäume.

Diese Route ist nicht nur ein Spaziergang durch die Natur, sondern auch eine Reise in die Vergangenheit. Ein perfekter Ausflug für Geschichtsinteressierte und Naturliebhaber gleichermaßen.

It's worth stopping off at one of our inns or coffee houses!
