Wachau World Heritage Hike

We will hike the World Heritage Trails around the charming medieval village of Spitz. It is a pleasant 3-hour hike (depending on individual speed), up and down through vineyards, forests with stone oaks and pine trees, passing by beautiful rock formations and enjoying amazing views on the river Danube. In the end, we will visit a traditional wine tavern ("Heuriger") or inn and try local food and wine of the region, if you wish (optional). This tour was created for people who want to be close to nature, slow down and discover the landscape by walking. We will be far away from the crowds, walking the hidden paths and silent forest trails. Let me show you the magic and hidden beauties of this natural treasure. After a short public bus ride back to our starting point, we continue our journey back to Vienna. Total travelling time from/to Vienna is approx. 2,5 hours.

This panoramic hike leads us along the famous world heritage trail in the Wachau region, Lower Austria. Highlights of this varied hike are: breathtaking panoramic views on the Danube, medieval wine growing villages, vineyards, stone terraces, stone oak forests, bizarre rock formations, rare dry grasslands – in short, an overview of the beautiful and protected landscape of the Wachau region (Unesco World Heritage).
