Hiking

The hike to the giant sequoias is part of the Göttweiger Forest Adventure Trail, which is about 3.8 km long and takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to walk. The trail starts at the car park in Paudorf and leads through wooded terrain, making it ideal for family outings.

Hiking

On the Eichberg, southeast of Paudorf, you will find the largest stand of giant sequoias in Austria. Adalbert Dungel was the forest master of the Göttweig Abbey from 1877 to 1886 and planted several seeds of the "Wellingtonia gigantea" in the ground in 1880. Today, these "Adalbert Wellingtonias" tower as true giant sequoias above the treetops of the surrounding forests.
