Hikes in Perg

One of the most popular hiking routes in the district of Perg leads along the Donausteig, a long-distance hiking trail that stretches over 450 kilometres and offers breathtaking views of the Danube. This route is particularly well suited for experienced hikers or those who want to tackle a longer distance. For families with children, however, there are also shorter tours along the trail that lead through rolling hills and picturesque villages.
