Welterbesteig Wachau - Wachau World Heritage Trail: Access from Furth-Palt railroad station to stage 13
From the train station, the trail first turns right and then left into Bahnhofstraße. After crossing the main road at Schönkreuz, the route continues straight ahead before turning left at the next opportunity. The Zellergraben is reached via the Katzengraben and thus the connection to the Welterbesteig Wachau - Wachau World Heritage Trail is established. At this point, the route turns right onto stage 13 towards Mautern, left towards Furth and on to Unterbergern.
Thanks to good rail connections, a relaxed and sustainable journey to the Wachau is easy. A dense network of public transport in the region ensures that all stages can be easily reached by bus, train, ferry and boat. This also makes it very easy to combine different stages.
The Welterbesteig Wachau - Wachau World Heritage Trail has also been awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality. This certification stands for high quality standards in terms of route guidance, signposting, safety and infrastructure and confirms the World Heritage Trail as a reliable and high-quality hiking offer in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
