Above the roof of the Danube

25.5 kilometres and 1,144 m difference in height in 2 days

In brief, “Above the roof of the Danube” combines, in only two hiking stages, the wine growing landscape of the Wachau with the nature park by the Jauerling, the highest mountain along the Danube, with its stunning views. More than 700 metres in height separate the bank of the Danube from the peak. There is a continuous ascent yet no dangerous sections.
