Beautiful hiking route from Jauerling through forests and over meadows, leads to Maria Laach and then back to Jauerling with numerous beautiful viewpoints.
Author’s recommendation
Recommended is the Jauerling farmers' market of the Maria Laach farmers in the Kerblerhaus in the center of Maria Laach (every Saturday 9am-3pm).
At the Hohen Jauerling, the nature park offers a themed trail. The path "above us the wide, wide sky" is perfect 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 http://www.naturpark-jauerling.at/gipfel-jauerling/ .
Just below the Jauerling summit at 915 m above sea level is the Nature Park House – guesthouse at Jauerling. From the Wachau terrace, you can enjoy the highest and most beautiful view of the Danube. The Nature Park House is car-free and traffic-calmed. The last ten minutes to the Nature Park House must be covered on foot. The tenants, the Gratz family, continuously serve warm cuisine. Groups and/or bus tours are requested to register. Regional quality and products, as well as close cooperation with producers from the nature park, characterize the cuisine and work of the Gratz family tenants.
