Forest Ridge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Single trail through the cool forest, worn-out areas are secured with ropes. The more or less straight climb is a small challenge.

Kirchsteig – Covered Stairway to the Church

Highlight • Structure

The church with its defensive walls is worth seeing on its own. The way up to the church is also a highlight in itself. Here you can also learn a lot about grape varieties.

Old Town of Weißenkirchen in the Wachau

Highlight • Historical Site

A wonderful city with historic charm. The best way to experience it is to stroll through the narrow streets and soak it all in. We also really enjoyed the selection at the Hick nursery!

Beautiful and not difficult hike with wonderful views of Weißenkirchen. About halfway along the route you can stop off at the Pomassl Heurigen. 🍇🍷

Beautiful and technically very varied tour in the beautiful Wachau. I especially love the many corners and corners of the buildings and the incredible diversity of nature that you can see here. It is best to plan to end the day afterwards in one of the many bars with good wine and a view of the surrounding area.

September 16, 2021,Weißenkirchen - das Herz der Wachau 16.09.2021

Today our short vacation began in the Wachau 😊

We started our first hike directly from the guest house where we are staying 😉

We came to the vineyards via the fortified church Mariae Himmelfahrt ...
To the World Heritage Trail, also the Panorama Trail.
The view to Weißenkirchen and Dürnstein was awesome ...
You could even see Göttweig Abbey …

At the beginning and end of the trail, there's more forest than vineyards. In between, however, there are fantastic views of the Danube, Weißenkirchen, Göttweig Abbey, Dürnstein, and numerous vineyards. Simply stunningly beautiful and highly recommended.
