Kremstal-Danube Long-Distance Trail 08: Gedersdorf - Langenlois

The Gedersdorf - Langenlois stage is worthwhile for nature lovers as well as experienced wine connoisseurs. From Gedersdorf, the route leads up to the terrace of the Gobelsberg, where a breathtaking view awaits. The entire panorama stretches from the Tulln basin across the Danube valley to the foothills of the Alps. The stage then continues via Gobelsburg to its destination in Langenlois, Austria's largest wine town. Incidentally, this is exactly the right place if you want to explore the topic of wine not only in terms of the landscape, but also thematically. The LOISIUM WeinErlebnisWelt, for example, provides interesting knowledge about viticulture and wine processing; the Usrin Haus combines the Kamp Valley ("Kamptal" in German) regional wine shop and tourist information. What's more, wine lovers will always find an open cellar door in Langenlois - the ideal opportunity to round off a successful hike in a relaxed atmosphere.

Route description Kremstal-Danube Long-Distance Trail 08: Gedersdorf - Langenlois

Those who choose Langenlois as the destination on the hiking route walk straight ahead at the wine press in Gedersdorf, then uphill to Gobelsberg with its observation tower. In clear weather, there is a magnificent view and a splendid panoramic view from the Tullner basin over the Danube valley to the foothills of the Alps. In good visibility, you can even count 37 church steeples. On the north side, the path gently slopes downhill past the Burger and Ulmer crosses to Gobelsburg.

Before the Reithmaier winery, we turn left, cross the stream, then right and immediately left up into the vineyards. Through the Ried Spiegel, past the wrought-iron cross, we reach Langenlois. Via Auböck-Allee and Michael Zwickel-Zeile, we arrive in the center of Austria's largest wine town, a town worth seeing not only because of the wine but also because of the culture and architecture.
