Long-distance path Kremstal-Donau 11: Stratzing - Droß

The stage starts in the wine village of Stratzing on a high plateau between the Danube, Krems River and Kamp. The Stratzing wine cellar lane and the local Ice Age Trail invite you to take your first worthwhile detour. The route then leads through extensive vineyards and a shady section of forest along the Stratzingbach stream. The route first leads to Priel, then on to the destination of Droß. After the fantastic scenery along the way, the Fatima pilgrimage church and the Renaissance Droß castle are also real eye-catchers. In the castle chapel of St. Georg, you can also marvel at some of the oldest frescoes in Austria. With these incredible impressions, the hike, which is well worth seeing, finally comes to an end.
