16 km circular route over the Hohenegg castle ruins and the Dunkelstein.
Very sunny route, surely very beautiful in spring, in the scorching hot August when not much is blooming anymore, the scenery is a bit sparse.

It's very quiet in the forest ... You don't always feel like strenuous long-distance trips or sweat-inducing steep climbs. The advantages of easy medium mountain hikes, like those offered by the Wachau, are obvious: they are largely independent of the weather, rarely cause time problems, and allow less experienced companions to join. The secluded, cross-decorated forest peak of Dunkelstein in the southern area of the eponymous forest plateau is a grateful destination even on cloudy days. Thanks to large recent clearings, visitors can now enjoy a wonderful view of the Alps from the summit.
