Thurytal, Valley and museum in Freistadt, Austria
The Thurytal Valley extends over 3.5 kilometers through the Mühlviertel Highlands, featuring a regulated river Aist and marked hiking paths with elevation changes.
During the industrial era, the Thury family operated three hammer mills in the valley, manufacturing agricultural tools, scythes, and metal fittings for regional distribution.
The restored second Thury hammer mill now functions as a demonstration site where visitors can observe traditional blacksmithing techniques and metal processing methods.
The valley trail system spans 9.3 kilometers with multiple rest areas, offering a moderate hiking experience between 553 and 653 meters above sea level.
Local folklore tells of a devil who attempted to block the river with large rocks, leaving behind the Devil's Rock formation that remains visible today.
