A short hike with a twist, especially suitable for seniors and families with children. This route takes you almost all the way around the Mayrhofberg in a counterclockwise direction. The short climb to the summit—with views to the west and south, meaning twice—is, of course, almost a must on this hike. Starting coordinates: 48.360 820, 13.942 086

A short hike starting near Pupping Airport and heading up to Strohheim to the parish church. It’s worth stopping by to take a look; you can grab a bite to eat at the Strohheimerhof. Complete the hike as a loop and return to the starting point.

    ACHTUNG: Kostenpflichtige Parkplätze im gesamten Startgebiet um €5-Gebühr nur in Münzen bezahlbar am Automaten. Alternativer Start mit kostenfreier Parkmöglichkeit beim "Parkplatz Schlögener Blick" Plus-Code "CVCP+26 Schlögenleiten" -- jedoch begrenzte Parkmöglichkeit. Ansonsten sehr schöne Wanderung im Donauraum, exzellente Blicke auf die Schlögener Schlinge, im Sommer am oberen Wegteil mit "Wachauer-Feeling".

    Schöne Wanderung mit mehreren tollen Aussichtspunkten. Mehrere kurze aber steile Aufstiege. Über die Steiner Felsen geht nur ein sehr schmaler Weg erfordert gutes Schuhwerk und Trittsicherheit.
