    Austria's largest apricot growing community, the municipality of Rossatz-Arnsdorf, is located on the southern bank of the Danube in the heart of the Wachau. Not only the wine characterizes this landscape. After centuries of cultivation, the Wachau apricot is a popular crop. With the Apricot Mile, the apricot growers try to bring the topic closer to the hikers. It is divided into a western (St. Johann-Bacharnsdorf) and an eastern part (Rührsdorf-Rossatzbach).

    Roadbook

    The tour starts at the towpath in Oberarnsdorf and leads us along the Danube towards the east. After passing the landing stage of the ferry, it continues to Mitterarnsdorf. Once there, we can refuel at one of the open wine taverns and then it's already time to go back. The path now runs parallel to the towpath through the apricot orchards back to Oberarnsdorf.
