Along the Nikolaus Lenau Trail through the Stockerau Au Between 1818 and 1821, the young poet Nikolaus Lenau often stayed in the then market town of Stockerau and spent many hours in the primeval-like Stockerau Au, which we explore on the circular trail named after him. Highlights of the tour include the detour to the Greifenstein Danube power plant and the Lenauhain memorial stone near the highway, which commemorates a resting place of the poet.

On the Danube power trail from the city of Leuna to the Schrammel community In recent years, numerous initiatives have aimed to make Austria "cycle-friendly." Several signposted cycling routes have been established in the southern Weinviertel region, including the Danube power hiking trail from Stockerau to Langenzersdorf. This trail is suitable not only for cyclists but also for hikers. Less experienced walkers can prematurely end the tour in Korneuburg and Bisamberg.

On the Pilgrimage Route Weinviertel through the RohrwaldOur Rohrwald hike takes us over the two lookout hills Michelberg and Waschberg. Although this is an area of intensive agricultural use, the landscape we get to know here is particularly charming. Between Michelberg (pilgrimage chapel) and Leitzersdorf (Jakobskirche), we follow the Jakobsweg Weinviertel, which was opened on Easter Monday 2010 and follows the route of the long-established Weinviertel hiking trails 632, 633, and 675.
