After a good hour's drive from Vienna, we reach our starting point, the famous medieval village of Dürnstein. Its charm and the gorgeous landscape surrounding it will delight you.
During our hike, we will enjoy fantastic views over the surrounding hills, the Danube, the castle ruins, and the village of Dürnstein. Inhale the air, filled with aromatic scents of the holm oaks, pine trees, rocks and wildflowers. This unique landscape has an almost Mediterranean touch and resembles the ones in Southern Europe.
Ascents and descents are steep in places and you must have adequate physical fitness. You must be free from vertigo and sure-footed. Please note that the path is very rocky, stony and rooted and can be slippery without the right shoes.
After having reached the highest point of the hike, we continue with the ascent through a beautiful landscape with holm oaks and interesting rock formations, until we reach the castle ruins, where the English king Richard Lionheart was imprisoned centuries ago. Walking time is approx. 3 hours, depending on individual speed. Length: 5 km/3 mi.
After the hike, there is time for visiting one of the local restaurants (optional, food & drinks are not included).
MEETING POINT is easily reachable by Vienna subway U4 (15-min ride from city centre Opera/Karlsplatz).
