The Empress Elisabeth viewpoint is an impressive stone tower, at 749 metres above sea level,on the Plattenberg south west of Weistrach. From this point there are extensive views over the Mühlviertel, the Traunviertel and as far as the Lower Alps. There was a primitive wooden watch tower on this spot as early as the first half of the 19th century but in 1897 the land was made available for the construction of the present structure. The stone tower was opened in 1899 and has been a major attraction ever since. It is approached by a number of exhilarating routes through the local countryside.
