The Prinzensteig offers you pure hiking pleasure. On narrow forest paths you wander on this section above the Danube and enjoy every now and then great views of the valley. Surefootedness is important and you should also be free from giddiness.

Hiking

A particularly romantic hike is the Prinzensteig in Wilhering. High above the Danube, children and parents hike when they discover the Prinzensteig hiking trail in Wilhering. Idyllic, almost magical, presents …

Hiking

In some places, the Prinzensteig winds its way along the slopes high above the Danube, almost like an alpine rock path.
