Behamberg: Hiking Trails, Village Loop and Mostviertel Views

Behamberg is a destination for travellers who want to combine hiking trails, scenic views and local history. Paths around the village lead through woodland, to a special viewpoint and through the village centre. There are also historical insights and leisure activities, allowing you to plan varied days.

Hiking between the village centre, woodland and viewpoints

A good way to get to know Behamberg is the Behamberg Village Loop. It leads through the village centre and along the forest educational trail. Children will find interesting and informative things to discover there. The loop also passes the village square with its water-spouting lion. In this way, the trail combines experiencing nature with small local details that can be appreciated together along the way.

Those looking for longer routes can include the Mostviertel Origins Trail in their travel plans. The circular route is 116 kilometres long and connects Behamberg with eight other municipalities. It is suitable for hikers and cyclists; the individual stages are between 18.6 and 28.2 kilometres long. This allows you to choose between a shorter village loop and longer stages, depending on how much distance you want to cover in a day.

The Daxberg Panorama Trail 335 runs along the edge of the forest around Daxberg. Another option is the Leitner-Badhofer Trail 336. It passes the “Mostviertel Viewpoint” and can be reached from Behamberg village centre. When planning a holiday, this makes it possible to choose specifically between a loop through the village, a woodland trail and a longer tour with views.

Panoramas and special trail destinations

The “Mostviertel Viewpoint” is considered a photo spot and is also a scenic viewpoint and rest area near the municipality of Behamberg. The panorama was framed in wood as part of a Young Farmers’ Association project. A viewpoint above the village also offers views across the Mostviertel and Mühlviertel as far as the Czech Republic. Those who enjoy reaching a distinctive viewpoint or combining a break with a special photo opportunity will find a clear point of orientation here for planning their day.

The village, history and leisure activities

St Martin’s Parish Church stands in the village centre on elevated ground amid the village. Topothek provides historical images from Behamberg on a publicly accessible web platform. You can therefore supplement your visit with a digital insight into the local past and familiarise yourself with the village in advance.

Behamberg Leisure Park has an ice stock hall with four refrigerated ice stock lanes; online reservations are possible. Ziesel driving is also suitable for people with mobility impairments, including wheelchair users. These activities offer a different focus from the hiking trails and open up additional possibilities for a stay in which not every day has to be the same.

The right accommodation for your travel plans

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Behamberg, choose according to your preferred pace of travel and main interests. A relaxing stay leaves room for local history and leisure activities, while active days can be shaped by longer hiking or cycling stages.
