    The hike from Paudorf to Hollenburg starts directly in the centre of Paudorf . From there, head towards your destination on the impressive sculpture trail. In addition to the unique wooden sculptures along the way, there are also fantastic viewpoints of the entire wine region. The Wilhelm Kienzl Museum invites you to a first leisurely stopover. Only a few kilometres further on, in Höbenbach, it is the famous Kellergasse with its wine taverns that calls for a well-deserved break. Culinary delicacies to feast on and delicious Kremstal DAC wines from the region provide the necessary refreshment. Via the charming village centre of Krustetten, the route then continues to the stage destination in Hollenburg. The unique feature of this hike, however, is the path: Heurige and wineries make for a delightful and cosy tour that will certainly not be forgotten in a hurry.

    Author’s recommendation

    Make the most of your hike with culinary delights. In the Kremstal, the Heurigen culture has a great tradition, and you can enjoy regional delicacies in a glass and on a plate.  The Kremstal DAC stands for spicy Grüner Veltliner and elegant mineral Rieslings. You can find out when and where it's set out in the Heurigen calendar.
