Tips

"Loess - a curious rock: on the one hand so soft that you can grind chunks to dust with your bare hand. On the other hand so stable that you can not only dig deep cellars into it, but also create many meters high cliffs and terraces. The vines The loess was blown towards the end of the ice ages by the wind, which transported the dust from quickly dried up mud areas into the Kremstal and piled up to 25 m high layers. The purest loess soils can be found in East of Krems, from Ried Wachtberg on Kreuzberg to Sandgrube to Rohrendorfer Gebling and beyond. "

A beautiful wine-growing region crisscrossed by numerous hiking trails. Here, up to the Danube lookout point, you can hike the Great Tullnerfeld Circular Trail 475/675, the Waldviertel Long-Distance Hiking Trail 606, or the Mariazell Trail 06 – all at the same time!
