The Furth - Paudorf stage offers everything: nature, history, and amazement. Even the hike's first section presents impressive panoramic views over the Danube and the Krems Valley. But the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Göttweig Abbey also impresses along the way. With its baroque architectural style and unique location on the Göttweiger Berg, the monastery creates a unique ambience that speaks for itself. For another historical facet, it is also worth taking a short detour to the mountain's highest point. The foundation of St. George's church, built in the tenth century, lies. The rest of the tour leads to Klein-Wien, past the Filial Church of St. Blasien with its picturesque mountain cemetery. Afterwards, the stage reaches its destination Paudorf. Another nature experience awaits you at the end of the hike: the forest nature trail with its imposing redwood trees, the size of which is unique in Austria.
Author’s recommendation
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Benedictine Abbey of Göttweig towers unmistakably on the eastern edge of the world-famous Wachau.
A detour to the redwoods is worthwhile. (approx. 2,1 miles return, Walking time approx. 1 hour).
