Route planner:
Please enter the address ‘Taschlgrabenrotte 2, 3213 Frankenfels’. Even if your route planner directs you via Schwarzenbach before reaching Frankenfels, please ensure you drive right into the centre of Frankenfels and continue as described below.
Via St. Pölten (from the east): A1 motorway, exit: St. Pölten – Süd (km 58), turn right (B20) towards Lilienfeld. At the second set of traffic lights turn right into the Pielach Valley (B39), towards Obergrafendorf. Follow the B39 to Frankenfels. In the centre of Frankenfels, between the town hall and the church, turn left (green sign for Steinschaler Dörfl). From Frankenfels, every turn-off is signposted. Now drive uphill without turning into any of the side streets on the left or right. After approx. 2.5 km, you will pass over a hilltop (farm on the left), continue straight ahead (sign for Steinschaler Dörfl). After 1.3 kilometres you will see Steinschaler Dörfl. If possible, please park outside the village square, as this is a public gathering area.
