    Das Weinviertel wird zum Wandern oft unterschätzt, im Rother Wanderbuch Weinviertel ist eine gute Auswahl an Touren, die meisten sind von Wien mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln schnell erreichbar. Viele Touren bin ich schon gegangen: https://www.meine-wanderwege.at/wanderbuecher/326-weinviertel

    Mittlerweile fahre ich etwa 2x jährlich rauf. Eine ausschließliche FRÜHLINGS- oder HERBSTTOUR. Von Juni - September fressen dich Gelsen und Bremer, so viel Autan gibt's nicht auf der Welt.
