November 23, 2024,Mammutbäume und Waxenberg Olé

A beautiful tour from Paudorf over the giant sequoias to the Waxenberg.

The giant sequoias were planted by the forester of Göttweig Abbey in 1880. Today they have grown so large that they tower over the surrounding forest, and they still have a lot to do if they are allowed to. The bark looks a bit battered, but maybe that …

March 26, 2023,Göttweig, Predigtstuhl, Mammutbäume

Today we went to the Wachau. The start was at Göttweig Abbey, on the defense path we went to the preaching chair. This path was very nice to walk, but is not recorded here because komoot didn't really want to (it's extra).
Past a few blossoming apricot trees.
We continued to the largest stock of sequoias in Austria. Then I …

July 26, 2021,NÖ: Mammutbäume und Waxenberg ab BH Paudorf

a nice round from Paudorf / Lower Austria train station.
Some roads in the area have been closed since the last heavy rains. It was quite humid and sweaty, although the loop is not particularly demanding.

11km, 260hm, easy to walk paths, no cows

From the small parking lot in Paudorf (explicitly marked with the sequoia parking lot) we walked along the Göttweiger forest adventure trail up to the sequoia trees on the Eichberg. In 1880, Adalbert Dungel, woodruff and later abbot of Göttweig Abbey, planted some seeds of the North American conifers that are otherwise …

January 26, 2022,Paudorf - St. Blasien - Sommerau - Waxenberg - Mammutbäume - Paudorf

From the parking lot at the beginning of the Heugraben, we first headed north to the Blasien Church, past it on the left and slightly downhill to a sharp right-hand bend. Continue straight on here, past the open barrier. After a sharp right turn uphill, I turned right and walked around the Sommerau mountain to a shed at a large …

April 4, 2024,Wanderung Waxenberg Kleinwien

We actually wanted to do the apricot blossom hiking trail. After we found out that the blossoms were over, we changed our plans and went to the Waxenberg where there is a wonderful view of Göttweig Abbey. We then went on to the mighty sequoias. So we ended our alternative tour in Kleinwien in wonderful weather.
