From Mühldorf, we travel via Trandorf to the Nonnersdorfer Kreuz, where descending towards Nonnersdorf we admire the impressive panorama of the Alpine foothills. From the pilgrimage site Maria Laach, we climb the Hochjauerling, which offers us a magnificent view: we admire the terraced vineyards of the Wachau with the Danube River and can even see the silhouette of the city of Vienna in clear weather! From there, we take the Heuweg, where we repeatedly catch delightful views into the Danube valley, back into the Spitzer Graben with its steep vineyard terraces to return to Mühldorf.
