Stage 2
Explanation
The hiking stage from Mautern to Furth impresses with unique views: Picturesque vineyards and spectacular natural phenomena make for an unforgettable hiking experience.
Between idyllic vineyards and imposing gorges, the second stage of the Kremstal-Danube long-distance hiking trail makes its way through nature. Starting from the Roman town of Mautern, the route, lined with vineyards and nut trees, first leads to the natural monument Hohlweg Zellergraben. Next, the impressive loess gorge with its walls up to twelve metres high leads straight to Furth, where numerous wine taverns invite you to take a relaxing break. Another route highlight is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig, which towers high above the trail throughout the hike. Due to the short distance and the few metres in altitude, the stage Mautern - Furth is also classified as easy. It is, therefore, suitable for pleasure and sport-loving novice hikers.
The combination of loess and wine can be seen in the natural monument Hohlweg Zellergraben. Be sure to plan a time for a visit to the Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig. Enjoy wine and regional delicacies of the Kremstal region. Check the Heurigen calendar, for open Heurigens!
