Top Lower Austria On the Ground

Experience the beauty and wildlife of the Gutensteiner Alps on a 7-hour hiking tour from Vienna. Complimentary transportation from the city allows you to focus on the adventure, rather than the logistics. The roughly 3-hour hike with your guide takes you to the summit of Reisalpe, which offers a stunning 360 panoramic view that’s perfect for photos. After your descent, unwind on the return journey to the city.

Discover the natural beauty and charming villages of Austria on a small-group 5- to 6-hour tour. Complimentary transportation takes you from Vienna and into the UNESCO listed Wachau Region. After a stop in the village of Weißenkirchen, begin your 3-hour hike through forests, vineyards, and rock formations. Your guide takes care of all navigation, so you’re free to experience the views of the Danube, Spitz, and beyond.

Escape the city for a day, and discover one of Austria’s most scenic corners, when you embark on a private tour of the Otscher-Tormauer Nature Park. Meet your guide in the morning, and set off in a private vehicle. You’ll go on a multi-hour hike in view of the beautiful Otscher Mountain. Bathe in the Alpine river, spot waterfalls, pause for a snack (food own expense), and otherwise immerse yourself in the tranquility of the scenery.

I designed this hike especially for the winter time, giving visitors a chance to explore the Wachau valley in the low season alike. We wander from the sleepy village of Mautern over the quaint little town of Stein to the bigger city of Krems. The medieval buildings, many churches, hidden passages and staircases give the villages a magic touch and romantic appeal. After warming up in one of the local inns we hike back on panoramic trails through the vineyards and enjoy fantastic views on the city, the river and the surrounding hill chains.

Before we start our hike in the surrounding hills, we visit the famous medieval town of Duernstein. The hiking trail is considered one of the most beautiful in the whole Wachau region and offers fantastic views over the valley. The unique landscape has an almost Mediterranean touch with its holm oak forests. As well, we will visit the striking and well-preserved castle ruins of Duernstein before ending the day in one of the local wine taverns (optional).

On this tour, we will see parts of the towns of Stein and Dürnstein. We will enjoy spectacular views on vineyards, the Danube and the surrounding UNESCO protected landscapes while following antique wine trails. Get to know the Wachau valley on foot and discover the landscape in a way you could never have done from a bicycle, car or boat. Smell it, taste it, feel the soul of it!

Immerse yourself in the best of Austrian nature on a 7- to 8-hour countryside hiking tour from Vienna. Join your small group in complimentary transportation from the city to Myrafälle (Myra Falls).  Then, follow your guide on a 4-hour hike along wooden bridges that cross over the famous cascades. You also enjoy impressive views of Schneeberg Mountain and the Steinwandklamm ravine.
