From the market square in Weißenkirchen, the Burgstiege stairway in Bachstraße leads up to the left to the Burgviertel, one of the oldest settlements in the Wachau region with Gothic vineyards and several wine taverns (stamp station: Heurigen Fam. Rosenberger). At the end of the Burgviertel, we walk down to the Lichtgartl and reach the vineyards. We cross Seiberstraße and arrive at Ried Ritzling. Here we turn right and walk past Ried Postaller up to the famous Riede Kollmitz. Please note the diversion: here we descend through the vineyards to Wösendorf and keep to the right at the bottom, on the main road towards St. Michael. Once there, we climb down the steps after the church and through a pedestrian underpass to the Danube. On the Treppelweg, we soon reach Spitz upstream on the Danube. Turn right into the town centre and after a short uphill stretch, we reach our destination for the day, the picturesque Spitzer Kirchenplatz.
