The Obst-Hügel-Land Nature Park and the more than 100 volunteers who contributed to the great success of the Weberbartl hike had luck on their side yesterday. More than 2,000 recreational athletes set out in temperatures around 20 degrees and enjoyed the beautiful autumn landscape in the country’s unofficial “most capital”. An old apple variety that is widespread in the region is also the namesake of the hike, which took place under the patronage of OÖNachrichten.
The hikers traveled from many parts of Upper Austria. They were able to fortify themselves along the nine kilometer long circular route with apple and pastry dishes, cider, boiler hots and much more and were entertained with a varied program at the adventure stations.
Many “Samareiners” also met along the nine-kilometer route. “The paths are wonderfully maintained, the view is beautiful. And we now have enough time in the guesthouse to enjoy it,” says August Wurm, a former local baker. Sabine Rathmayr was traveling with the family. “The hike along the orchards is always wonderful.” She also emphasizes the cohesion in the community: “All clubs are involved.”
Hikers were able to recharge their batteries at seven refreshment stations, including at the “Wintersberger” halfway along the route, where the “Polsenzer” were playing, or at the “Wachter in der Wacht” nature park adventure station. There the children were allowed to squeeze fresh apple juice, and Wetterhans Hans Gessl invited people to “Samareiner Mostbartln”.
Organizer Rainer Silber draws a positive conclusion and is pleased to receive a lot of praise for the good organization. “There weren’t quite as many hikers as on our last hike in 2019, but people really enjoyed it and stayed at the stations for a long time.”
