The tour from Gföhl to Senftenberg is especially worthwhile for sporty enthusiastic hikers. On this route, romantic natural scenery and imposing landmarks are explored in a dynamic way. At the starting point of the hike, it is worth making the first stop at the baroque parish church of St. Andrew. Then it's on tranquil forest paths over the Kühberg past imposing rock formations into the Kremstal valley. Especially the rock pulpit "Heimliches Gericht" is worth a stop. Via the villages of Untermeisling and Obermeisling, the route leads directly to the finish in Senftenberg. At the end of the tour, we recommend a trip to the landmark of the wine town, the castle ruins of Senftenberg. The fantastic view from the ruins over the picturesque Kremstal valley rounds off this worthwhile hiking route.
Author’s recommendation
The Burgruine Senftenberg in Kremstal tower high above the village. It is the landmark of the idyllic wine village of the same name and offers a magnificent view of the wine terraces where the typical Urgesteinsriesling grows. There are many things to explore at the castle ruins, and many stories entwine around the centuries-old building.
Please note the following tips and advice to ensure that your hiking holiday is a beautiful experience:

Turn-by-turn directions
From the main square, we head south through Kirchengasse, Kühberggasse, to Kleinkühnberggasse, which we then follow uphill. Past the playground, the end of the settlement is soon reached, a short stretch on the field road, and we are already in the shady forest. For the most part, through the forest, we reach Untermeisling. Beforehand, it is recommended to take the detour to the lookout point before the Kühberg. From Untermeisling to Obermeisling, we have to march on the main road. From Obermeisling onwards, "peace returns". We walk for hours through the forest, over the beautiful rock pulpit "Heimliche Gericht" until we reach the Kremstal. Through the settlement area, we reach the Nuhr health centre and, shortly afterwards, the municipal office.
