This easy hike on the high plateau of the Jauerling leads from the viewing tower to the Naturparkhaus Gasthaus at the Jauerling.
The pleasant hike leads on forest roads and some hiking trails through forest and meadow on the high plateau of the Jauerling. At some points, in good weather, there is a wonderful view. Rest and refreshment options are available.
Recommended is the Jauerling farmers' market of the Maria Laacher farmers in the Kerblerhaus in the center of Maria Laach (every Saturday 9 am to 3 pm).
At the Hohen Jauerling, the nature park offers a themed trail. The path "over us the wide, wide sky" is ideal for a walk and provides information about the Jauerling, the nature park communities, and the flora and fauna in the region. Younger hikers are motivated to stroll through the forest along the 10 stations, which can be explored using an app. More information (including map and audio sample) can be found at http://www.naturpark-jauerling.at/gipfel-jauerling/.
Just below the Jauerling summit at 915 m above sea level lies the Naturparkhaus – Gasthaus at the Jauerling. From the Wachau terrace you can enjoy the highest and most beautiful view of the Danube ever.
The Naturparkhaus is car-free and traffic-calmed. The last ten minutes to the Naturparkhaus must be covered on foot. The tenants, the Gratz family, continuously spoil you with warm cuisine. Groups and/or bus tours are requested to register. Regional quality and products, as well as intensive cooperation with producers from the nature park, characterize the kitchen and the work of the tenants, the Gratz family.
