What To Expect
After a short ride from Vienna, we arrive at the ravine Steinwandklamm, where we have to pay a small entrance fee* and start our hike. We wander through the romantic gorge by crossing wooden bridges and a little cave on top of it. From there we continue through a forest and to a plateau with magnificent views of Schneeberg, the highest mountain of Lower Austria. From the plateau we take a quiet forest path until we reach the beginning of the waterfalls. We follow the waterfalls for a while before climbing up a rather steep hill. After having mastered the sweaty ascent, we will be rewarded with a beautiful view from the summit into the valley and onto the surrounding hill chains. Our way leads us downhill and uphill again in gentle curves on a country road. We pass beautiful pastures and if we are lucky, may spot some cows or horses before we get back to the starting point. True countryside feeling just an hour away from Vienna! Duration ca. 3 hours. Length: 9 km. Highest point: 720 m. Elevation gain/loss: +430 m/-440 m. *Note: the entry fee of EUR 7,-- per person is extra and has to be paid directly at the entrance in CASH.
