Willendorf became famous as the site of the world-renowned 25,000-year-old fertility statue "Venus of Willendorf." We hike from the enchanting museum "Venusium" along the Willendorf stream through forests past the "Weather Cross." Between vineyards and apricot orchards, we walk along the Wachaubahn on magnificent meadow paths over the famous site of the "Venus of Willendorf" back to the "Venusium."
The hiking route (No. 23) is uniformly and continuously marked with yellow signs.
