Hiking in the Türnitz Alps

Through the UNESCO Cultural Landscape between Krems and Melk. The Wachau World Heritage Trail winds through vineyards, monasteries, and panoramic views of the Danube all the way to the Jauerling.

Half-day hike in the foothills of the Alps near Lilienfeld along a picturesque ridge trail

The Traisental Circular Hiking Trail with the trail number 655 runs around the Traisen Valley, located south of the capital of Lower Austria, mostly in the district of Lilienfeld. The trail is about 160 km long and generally requires 6-9 days for the entire hike. For this digital tour description, the track was checked against the natural trail route and the section divisions including checkpoints were completely revised (new guide planned). The twelve sections are designed so that at the end of each there is a checkpoint as well as accommodation options. Sporty long-distance hikers on a thru-hike will usually be able to combine two sections into a daily stage of 25-30 kilometers and 8-10 hours of walking time.

From Ober-Grafendorf via Baumgarten to Bischofstetten. Via Steinleiten and Antlashof to Hofstetten-Grünau.

Stage four of the Türnitzer Hut chain leads from the Türnitzer Höger along a hill ridge characterized by alpine pastures down to St. Aegyd, passing inviting Naturfreunde huts.

Stage three of the Türnitzer Hut chain forms the king stage with a pleasant descent to Türnitz and a long, scenic ridge ascent to the Türnitzer Höger (1,372m).

Stage two of the Türnitzer hut chain is a rather short connecting section between Hohenstein and Eisenstein with their cozy, small summit huts.

To the Rudolfshöhe, the local mountain of St. Pölten.

From Wagram over the lakes and the Kremserberg in a large loop to the city center.
