Route description Circular hiking trail "Maria Elend"
Starting from Nußdorf, the path leads uphill through vineyards, orchards, and forests to the idyllic elevated village of Theyern. In this first section, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the Traisen Valley to the foothills of the Alps or into the Danube Valley and the Tulln basin.
From here, the route only ascends slightly, passing again through orchards, vineyards, and fields. At the forest edge, the path crosses a section of the Way of St. James to the pilgrimage church "Maria Elend," where the inn "Osterhaus" also offers a place to stop. The way back leads again through forest, past vineyards and fields, into the charming small village of Ried near Nußdorf ob der Traisen.
The path is marked by yellow signage titled "Maria Elend Circular Hiking Trail."
