The last stretch of the Kremstal-Danube long-distance hiking trail is characterised by picturesque nature, impressive castle ruins and finally, urban flair and thus promises pure variety. The starting point is the wine town of Senftenberg, whose castle ruins already offer the first worthwhile diversion - the magnificent view over the Krems Valley convincingly proves this. The hike continues through tranquil forests and steep vine terraces via Imbach, with its magnificent Gothic parish church to another eye-catcher: the Rehberg ruins. Across the Kuhberg past the Schwarzalm inn, the route finally leads to Krems, the tour's destination. There, the cultural programme invites you to linger: The Kunstmeile Krems, the wine experience world Winzer Krems or the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich (Lower Austria State Gallery) guarantee true cultural delights here. For those who prefer culinary delights, however, the city's numerous restaurants offer the perfect opportunity to round off the hike in comfort.
Please note the following tips and advice to ensure that your hiking holiday is a beautiful experience:
Stay on the marked trails and wear mountain/hiking boots.
Please do not leave your rubbish along the path.
Carry enough food (water/snacks) with you.
Take the hiking map with you or use the free hiking app.
Respect the sensitive habitats of flora and fauna.
