Falkensteiner Weg 110 / Rupertiweg E10, Teilstück im Mühlviertel

The Ruperti Trail 10 was opened to the public in 1979 and leads through the provinces of Upper Austria, Salzburg and Carinthia, reaching from the Bärenstein in the Bohemian Forest to the Naßfeld in Carinthia. After all, this trail reaches almost 2800 m above sea level on the Reißeckhöhenweg, so sure-footedness and a head for heights are required in parts, as well as orientation skills in fog.

The Rupertiweg 10 is also part of the European long-distance hiking trail E10,  connecting the Berchtesgaden and Triglav national parks and is accompanied by the Via Alpina between St. Bartholomä and Maria Alm.
