Loess terraces – Stein an der Donau

Highlight • Natural Monument

"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. "

Town hall square Stein an der Donau

Highlight • Monument

Stein Town Hall, Stein an der Donau
The town hall, which was moved here in 1701, has an impressive two-storey building. The facade design with pilaster strips and with slab-style and plaited decoration dates back to a reconstruction in 1779 under master builder Johann Michael Ehmann. On the main front there is a three-axis, triangular-gabled central projection with upper-storey pilaster strips over consoles, cordon cornices and sculptural window canopies. Semicircular blind gables can be seen on the side fronts. Inside there is a staircase with a late Baroque parapet crowned with volutes. The ballroom has a rich stucco ceiling from around 1740/1750, which was probably made by Johann Michael Flor. Other features include a Baroque tiled stove with reliefs of King David and the Judgement of Solomon.

A beautiful hike, even though the climb was quite steep in places. Highly recommended for a short, relaxing walk; some great views.

Today I'm following in the footsteps of Ingrid Otzelberger. We start our circular hike in Stein an der Donau. The nature trail goes through the Reisperbachtal to the Donauwarte and past the vineyards back to the starting point. This tour is kitschy and beautiful in comparison to the leaves.

Because the Wachau is so inviting for hiking at the moment, I'm going on another hike. Today we're hiking in Stein an der Donau. In Stein, the vineyards aren't as golden as they were yesterday in Dürnstein. But it was still a very varied and beautiful hike.
The nature trail in Reisperbachtal has fallen trees, …
