    Lookout tower at the Göblberg: The Göblberg is with 801 meters the highest elevation in the Hausruck in the middle of Upper Austria. 

    The 35 meter high larch wood construction was planned by the engineering office Meinhart+Partner and executed by Schmid Bauunternehmung Holzbau GmbH from April to May 2006. The tower received recognition at the Upper Austrian Timber Construction Award for its technical know-how and solid construction as a "landmark that cannot be overlooked".
    The webcam on the observation tower faces east and south and shoots photos of Ampflwang and Frankenburg every five minutes. These are put on the web by Minniberger-flashnet. Power is supplied by a solar panel.

    The mountain panorama: In the north, the panorama stretches from the Großer Arber in the Bavarian Forest, 117 km away, to the Mühlviertel and the Hochficht. To the east, on a good day, you can see the Ötscher at a distance of 128 km. 

    Botanical Garden: In Hintersteining, about five kilometers from the center, the Botanical Garden with a large biotope was opened in 1998.

    Hobelsberg-Riesn nature reserve: At Hobelsberg, a 4.1 hectare forest plot was dedicated as a nature reserve in 2005, which is particularly notable for its large occurrences of the wild moon violet.
