This hike is a pleasant circular route from Maria Laach to the summit of the Jauerling and to the Nature Park House with its Wachau terrace. The path leads over the Jauerling plateau, along gentle forest paths, and is easy to walk. At the summit itself, the lookout tower invites you to climb it.

Author’s recommendation
Every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the farmers' market of the Maria Laach farmers opens its doors in the Kerblerhaus in the town center.
At High Jauerling, the Nature Park offers various themed trails. The path "above us the wide, wide sky" is ideal for a walk and provides information about the Jauerling, the Nature Park communities, and the flora and fauna in the region. Younger hikers are also motivated to walk through the forest along the 10 stations, which can be explored with an app. More information (including map and audio sample) at www.naturpark-jauerling.at
The large car park at the ski lift on the Jauerling is available free of charge as a motorhome parking space in summer.
