Starting in Asparn an der Zaya, the Weinviertel Way of St. James takes you through the municipalities of Niederleis and Gnadendorf, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Leiser Mountains. You’ll hike up to the Buschberg and its summit cross. Here, at an elevation of 491 meters, you reach the highest point in the Weinviertel. If you follow the signposted turnoff, you’ll arrive at the Buschberghütte, the lowest-altitude Alpine Club hut in Austria. On a clear day, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Weinviertel from the Buschberg. The route continues to the Maria Oberleis pilgrimage church before taking you through Steinbach to Ernstbrunn. From Ernstbrunn, the trail leads on via Gebmanns and Hipples to Großrußbach, the destination of the third day’s stage. After this strenuous day of pilgrimage, the Jägerwirt in Großrußbach offers the perfect opportunity to relax, reflect on the distance you’ve already covered, and prepare for the journey ahead.
