At the market square in the old wine village Aggsbach Markt, we turn left and immediately after at the Kurz wine tavern turn right uphill. We cross the tracks of the Wachau railway and hike left uphill to Edelberg. Our path continues along a beautiful forest trail to the 482 m high Glatzberg. From Glatzberg, we hike steadily uphill to the Bärenreut high plateau. Here we enjoy the beautiful view of Jauerling and Maria Laach before following the farm track further to Zintring with its impressive bell tower. In the hamlet, we cross the Jauerling circular trail. At the last house, we turn left, cross the Grimsing valley and arrive at Felbring at the Waldruhe inn (stamp station, but the inn is closed!).
After crossing the main road, we turn left and cross the Jauerling circular trail again. Across a Christmas tree plantation, our path leads steadily downhill through the forest to Käfermühle and across the Felbring stream. For a rewarding detour to the Burgkircherl Gossam, we follow the road to the left. After one minute, we reach the ruins with the picturesque castle church that invites for a comfortable rest. Back at Käfermühle, we go left at the house and hike along the historic postman’s path to the hamlet Mödelsdorf. After leaving the village, we turn left into a farm track that takes us to the Renaissance town and former wine-growing village Emmersdorf (currently, there is no viticulture around Emmersdorf). In the town, we go left to the fortified church Saint Nicholas, which invites visitors. Afterwards, we follow the turn-off to the train station and hike down the Kolomani stairs. At the foot of the stairs, we reach Marktstraße with its Renaissance buildings and Magdalene chapel, where our stage ends.
