In spring and summer the Jauerling dry grasslands between Mühldorf and Emmersdorf are an enchanting sight, dotted with brightly coloured wildflowers and abuzz and aflutter with bees and butterflies. Directly above Aggsbach Markt there is a breathtaking view of the Danube and Aggstein Castle ruin, which has a thrilling yet bloody history.
Thurn
The spectacular vista shows the Wachau as a narrow gorge-like valley between steep wooded hillsides, with rugged walls of rock that jut out into the Danube and are popular with climbers. On the inner sides of the meanders the sediments deposited by the river form alluvial flats that are good places for bathing, e.g. at Dürnstein and Rossatz.
Trenning
Many centuries ago, stone terraces were constructed across the slopes of the Wachau valley to allow wine to be grown on the steep hillsides. Another relic of the arduous work in the vineyards are the so-called "Hiata-Hütten", stone huts where the winegrowers could have a rest and the watchmen ("Hiata") guarded the grapes against thieves. There is an especially pretty one at the summit of the Tausendeimerberg. Tausendeimerberg
This stage boasts an array of well-preserved historic buildings, including the Teisenhoferhof as well als old salt stores (Salzstadl) in Weißenkirchen, the former shipmaster's house in Spitz and the fortified churches in Weißenkirchen and St Michael. It also passes through numerous areas of dry grassland with a rich flora and fauna, including the typical European feather grass and the rare predatory bush cricket.
Spitz
The Kanzel rock formation provides magnificent views over to Rossatz and the riverine wetlands of Pritzenau, a habitat for rare fish species. The "Malerwinkel" on the Dürnstein riverside, popular with artists since time immemorial, and the Renaissance Teisenhoferhof in Weißenkirchen are further classic spots from which to appreciate the stunning beauty of the Wachau.

This stage of the trail leads downhill from the Jauerling plateau, past plantations of Christmas trees and through broad expanses of grassland to the riverbank. The path starts at the Gothic parish church of Maria Laach and continues via the Litzendorf wayside shrine to the hamlet of Litzendorf. A series of wide zigzags then leads up to the solitary Schleinkhof farmstead. From there, a forestry road takes us downhill all the way down to the Danube at Aggsbach Markt.

This stage of the trail stands out for the splendid countryside of the Jauerling Natural Park and boasts a trio of superlatives. Not only does it cross the Jauerling, the highest point on the World Heritage Trail; it also passes by Lower Austria's highest vineyard on Trenning hill. What is more, on the Wachau Terrace of the Naturparkhaus inn you can enjoy both delicious home cooking and the most elevated view of the Danube along the entire course of the river.
Naturparkgasthaus

This rather strenuous stage of the trail features the steepest wine terraces in the Wachau, sun-dappled oak and beech woodland and more superb views of the river. From Spitz, the route continues over the famous Tausendeimerberg (said to produce 1,000 pails of wine per season) and Setzberg into the side valley known as Spitzer Graben. The hilly path wends its way up and down, passing baroque Prandhof Castle to reach Mühldorf.

This scenic stage high above the Danube passes through the heart of the Wachau wine terraces with their typical dry stone walls and famous vineyards. From the marketplace in Weißenkirchen the trail passes the Michaelerberg natural monument and continues through the vineyards to the "Red Gate" (Rotes Tor) above Spitz. Both of these winegrowing villages are famous for their wine taverns and inns, it's still a good idea idea to carry plenty of provisions in your rucksack for refreshments en route.

The start of this stage is all about Dürnstein, with its striking church tower, stunning views of the river and famous terraced vineyards. After climbing up to the famous ruined castle, the path continues through rocky woodland to the aptly-named Kanzel ("pulpit"), a rock formation with spectacular views of the Danube below. The trail then follows a forestry track to reach the famous vineyards "Klaus" and "Achleiten", which line the route until it descends to the fortified church in Weißenkirchen.

The 14 stages of the Wachau World Heritage Trail are an impressive reminder of just how enjoyable hiking can be. Wending its way gently up and down, the long-distance trail encircles one of the most idyllic parts of the Danube valley: the stunning 36-kilometre stretch known as the Wachau. Each stage of the trail has its own scenic highlights. The steep hillsides on the northern bank of the Danube are covered in stone-terraced vineyards, with the picturesque winegrowing towns of Krems, Dürnstein, Weißenkirchen and Spitz nestling below. Behind them rises the Jauerling, at 960m the highest peak along the entire course of the Danube. The tranquil southern side between Melk and Mautern is dominated by the wooded foothills of the Dunkelstein Forest. The flatter land beside the river is covered in vineyards and orchards, while the higher ground in between affords enchanting views of fascinating hilltop ruins. The local winegrowers and restaurateurs make the Wachau a paradise for gourmets. Wachau wines are among the best Austria has to offer, and the local hostelries – from top-class restaurants to the many wine taverns – offer delicious regional specialities for every taste and pocket.

Beech, Scots pine and sessile oak grow side by side in the natural woodlands of the Wachau, which are home to the spotted salamander and the Aesculapian snake as well as rare beetle species. Over the millennia, the Danube cut its way through the Bohemian Massif, separating Dunkelstein Forest from the high plateau of the Waldviertel on the other side of the river.
Schloss Luberegg
The dry stone walls that once served to reinforce the terraced vineyards are also home to beneficial insects and other creatures. Passing hikers might spot slow-worms, praying mantis or the European green lizard, which gives its name to one of the three locally produced wines. The aptly-named plant basket-of-gold flowers after the springtime apricot blossom, covering the slopes in a sea of brilliant yellow.
Aussichtswarte Tachberg
One of the characteristics that led to the Wachau being designated a World Heritage Cultural Landscape are its very compact settlement structures. The local villages combine architectural styles from multiple eras and the built-up areas have clear boundaries with virtually no overspill into the surrounding landscape. These lovely compact villagescapes are a signature feature of the Wachau and especially worthy of preservation.
Rantenberg
The narrow yet important strip of riverine wetland beside the Danube at Schallemmersdorf is the nesting place of a rarely-seen bird: the kingfisher. A renaturalization project has allowed this beautiful bird with its iridescent blue and orange plumage to colonise the protected wetland habitat, which can be viewed from across the river at Schönbühel.
Emmersdorf
Back in the day, ships travelling upstream on the Danube required the muscle power of up to 30 horses and men to drag them along with ropes from the towpath; nowadays, they glide through the locks at Melk hydroelectric plant. The 100,000 or more ships that pass through the locks every year testify to the Danube's importance as a major line of communication between East and West.
Emmersdorf
The Wachau Railway viaduct with its eight arches is an Emmersdorf landmark and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape. Started in 1897, the Wachau Railway was opened in 1909 as part of a planned rail link from Vienna to Linz and helped fuel the local tourist boom from the 1950s onwards. Today, it operates as an excursion service between Krems and Emmersdorf. (Felbringbach)
Orchards, vineyards and Dunkelstein Forest are the key features of this stage, which also rewards walkers with the best views of Dürnstein. From the wine-growing village of Rossatz the trail passes through natural riverine wetlands and orchards to a sandy beach on the banks of the Danube. It then climbs up through the Rossatz vineyards and Dunkelstein Forest to the summit of Pemexel hill (508 m). After crossing the Bergerner Höhe plateau, it finally leads downhill.

Until 1463, there was no bridge over the Danube anywhere between Passau and Vienna. That year saw the building of the first ever bridge between Stein and Mautern, supported on 26 timber piles. Placenames such as "Furt" or "Förthof" recall earlier fording of the Danube at this point. The present bridge, a steel truss construction dating from 1895, is a listed historic monument.
Mautern
In the early 1970s, local activists embarked on a ten-year struggle to prevent the construction of a power plant at Rührsdorf. The Wachau was subsequently awarded the European Diploma for Protected Areas in 1984, before being inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. This free-flowing stretch of the Danube also provides a valuable habitat for a large number of animal and plant species. Steinaweg
This stage of the trail is more of a history tour, featuring the Roman remains of Mautern, magnificent Renaissance and Baroque architecture and the well-preserved historic centres of Stein and Krems. Starting at Rathausplatz in Mautern, the trail crosses the Danube bridge to reach the medieval cobbled streets of Stein, passing through age-old squares and imposing gateways to finish at Gozzoburg castle and Hoher Markt marketplace in the historic heart of Krems.

Pretty vineyards, little wine-growing villages and the imposing spectacle of Göttweig Abbey perched atop its hill are the highlights of this stage of the trail. From Unterbergern, the trail passes through the Wachau and Krems Valley wine-growing areas, where age-old wine taverns are the perfect place for a refreshment stop. The path then leads through lovely woodland and meadows over to Am Giritzer hill, then back down through the sunken lane known as Zellergraben and on to the Roman town of Mautern.
This stage of the trail is just under 16 km long and takes us from Spitz to Aggsbach Markt. Highlights include the wine-growing town of Spitz, the ruins of Hinterhaus Castle, the Teufelsmauer rock formation ("Devil's Wall") rock formation, the medieval village of Schwallenbach and the famous Venus of Willendorf. Sweeping vistas of the Wachau Valley and idyllic countryside dotted with woods and vineyards make for a wonderful walk.

A walk around the Jauerling Loop takes you on a journey spanning several cultural landscapes, natural habitats and historical eras. The trail wends its way above the Danube, passing through vineyards, broad meadows, villages and across gentle rolling hills to the summit of the Jauerling. The pilgrimage village of Maria Laach makes an ideal start and finish point. Consisting of seven stages, the Loop is a circular trail leading through the Jauerling-Wachau Natural Park and across the Waldviertel plateau. The interstages with the Wachau World Heritage Trail offer scope for variation and a number of alternative route options. www.jauerlingrunde.at

The Jauerling rises to an altitude of 960m, making it the highest peak along the entire course of the River Danube. The surrounding area is a designated Natural Park and links the Wachau World Heritage Cultural Landscape with the Waldviertel region. In terms of landscape, the multifaceted Natural Park is dominated by the free-flowing River Danube, scenic side valleys, sunny terraced hillsides, wine-growing and orchards, meadows and oak woodland. Also known for its plantations of Christmas trees, the countryside around the Jauerling is dotted with picturesque castles and fortresses.
