Route description Long-Distance Trail Kremstal-Donau 04: Paudorf - Hollenburg
From the center of Paudorf, the country road can be easily crossed via an underpass. From now on, we hike along the Sculpture Trail, which dates back to the International Wood Sculpture Symposium 1997, past the Umgehendes Cross to Höbenbach. Almost along the way lies the Hellerhof, which houses the Kienzl Museum. The Höbenbach stream up to the namesake village Höbenbach is our companion. Upon arrival, we meet the cellar lane directly. We pass it on the left, across the village square to Setzenweg where we turn right, past the Dockner winery, merging into the Güterweg, which takes us to Krustetten. At the Weißes Kreuz, we have already reached the village, which we walk through on Hollenburger Straße, passing some Heurigen. At the end of the village, our path turns left through Ried Hopfengrund and Glockenberg until we reach Kleedorf. At Federal Road 43, we leave it again immediately and walk along Wehingerweg through the settlement towards the private clinic. However, we do not go to the clinic, but take Krustettner Straße to Lumpazi-Bräu. Shortly afterwards, stairs lead us down to a path that brings us almost without traffic to the destination of our third stage, the center of Hollenburg.
