The stage Droß – Gföhl starts directly in the center of Droß and leads over idyllic forest and woodland paths to the Poberkreuz. At this point, there is the possibility to shorten the hike and go down via Bannholz to Senftenberg. However, the regular route continues towards Herzogentisch to the mighty granite blocks with an incredible view: from the Kremstal to Göttweig Abbey and even far into the foothills of the Alps, a picturesque panorama extends here. Via the Hussitenkreuz, the hike finally leads to its destination in Gföhl. There, the baroque parish church of St. Andreas invites you to an impressive final stop and thus a fitting end to a relaxed and worth-seeing hiking route.
Author’s recommendation
Monument-protected buildings and grand structures shape Gföhl – especially the baroque parish church St. Andreas.
