Hiking sportily from one landmark to the next: The stage Gföhl – Senftenberg is full of sights worth seeing that want to be explored dynamically.
Description
The route from Gföhl to Senftenberg is especially worthwhile for sporty enthusiastic hikers. On this route, romantic natural scenery and impressive landmarks are explored dynamically. At the starting point of the hike, a first stop at the baroque parish church of St. Andreas is already worthwhile. Then it goes on quiet forest paths over Kühlberg past impressive rock formations into the Kremstal. The rock pulpit “Secret Court” is especially worth a stop. The stage leads directly over the villages of Untermeisling and Obermeisling to the destination Senftenberg. At the end of the route, a trip to the landmark of the wine town, the Senftenberg castle ruins, is recommended. The fantastic view from the ruins over the picturesque Kremstal perfectly rounds off the remarkable hiking route.

Route description Long-distance trail Kremstal-Donau 14: Gföhl - Senftenberg
From the main square, head south through Kirchengasse, Kühlberggasse to Kleinkühnberggasse, which we then follow uphill. Past the playground, the end of the settlement is soon reached, a short stretch still on Feldstraße and we are already in the shady forest. Mostly through the forest, we reach Untermeisling. Before that, it is recommended to take a detour to the viewpoint in front of Kühlberg. From Untermeisling to Obermeisling, we have to walk on the state road. From Obermeisling, “peace returns”. For hours, it goes through the forest, over the beautiful rocky pulpit “Secret Court” until we reach the Kremstal. Through the settlement area, we reach the Nuhr health center and shortly thereafter the municipal office.
Author's tip
High above the village towers the Senftenberg castle ruins in the Kremstal. It is the landmark of the idyllic wine village of the same name and offers a wonderful view of the wine terraces where the typical primary rock Riesling grows. There is much to explore at the castle ruins, and many stories revolve around the centuries-old structure.
