The hike from Paudorf to Hollenburg starts right in the center of Paudorf . From there, you follow the impressive sculpture trail towards your destination. In addition to the unique wooden sculptures along the way, there are also fantastic viewpoints of the entire wine region. The Wilhelm Kienzl Museum invites you to make your first leisurely stop. Just a few kilometers further on, in Höbenbach, it is the famous wine cellar lane with its wine taverns that calls for a well-deserved break. Culinary delicacies to feast on and delicious Krems Valley ("Kremstal") DAC wines from the region provide the necessary refreshment. The route then continues via the charming village center of Krustetten to the stage finish in Hollenburg. The special feature of this hike, however, lies along the way: wine taverns and wineries make for a particularly enjoyable and leisurely tour that will not soon be forgotten.

Recommended equipment:
From the center of Paudorf, the country road can be easily crossed via an underpass. From now on, we hike along the Sculpture Trail, which dates back to the International Wood Sculpture Symposium 1997, past the Umgehendes Cross to Höbenbach. Almost along the way lies the Hellerhof, which houses the Kienzl Museum. The Höbenbach stream up to the namesake village Höbenbach is our companion. Upon arrival, we meet the cellar lane directly. We pass it on the left, across the village square to Setzenweg where we turn right, past the Dockner winery, merging into the Güterweg, which takes us to Krustetten. At the Weißes Kreuz, we have already reached the village, which we walk through on Hollenburger Straße, passing some Heurigen. At the end of the village, our path turns left through Ried Hopfengrund and Glockenberg until we reach Kleedorf. At Federal Road 43, we leave it again immediately and walk along Wehingerweg through the settlement towards the private clinic. However, we do not go to the clinic, but take Krustettner Straße to Lumpazi-Bräu. Shortly afterwards, stairs lead us down to a path that brings us almost without traffic to the destination of our third stage, the center of Hollenburg.
