The Romance of Steam Trains on the European Watershed The Semmering Railway from Gloggnitz to Mürzzuschlag, built in the mid-19th century, made this pass so popular that the name “Semmering” soon became synonymous with mountain passes accessible by rail. The Bruderndorfer Sattel on the Waldbahn line from Großpertholz to Langschlag thus earned the nickname “Little Semmering.” The hiking route featured here follows this path, though hikers will not get to enjoy the train ride until the return trip.

Places of energy and power, hard stones - remnants, shell stones, wobbly stones - the Waldviertel is rich in stones.
350 million years ago, a high mountain range formed in Central Europe. Millions of years passed, the mountains weathered, seas covered the land, rocks and layers of earth were eroded and the stones of the Waldviertel emerged from the ground. The erosion and weathering that led to the appearance of the Härtlinge are estimated to be 10 million years old.
