Krummnußbaum 3 - Silberberg Loop
Hiking tour Starting from Curly-barked walnut tree, fire department
The green Silberberg loop is a varied loop that initially leads through a residential area and then slightly uphill (Silberberg) with a view of Pöchlarn. The route continues on a gravel road until it branches off into the dense forest. From there it is partly steeply downhill, past a factory and the cemetery, and back to the starting point.

Wachau-Nibelungengau-Krems Valley ("Kremstal" in German):
The market town of Krummnußbaum is located on the right bank of the Danube, across from Marbach and Maria Taferl. As the name suggests, you can expect a wide range of offerings centered around nuts. Numerous inns and recreational facilities invite you to linger, relax, and get active. Charming circular hiking trails wind through wooded, gently rolling terrain. Worthwhile destinations include the Maria Steinbründl Forest Chapel, which serves as the starting point for three “Tut-Gut” hiking trails. At the entrance to the town, there is a boat harbor with a swimming dock right on the Danube.
