Advent hikes

Wrap up well in a cosy winter jacket, slip into your winter boots and experience a new side of Lower Austria during Advent.

When the days get shorter and cooler, we know: Christmas is approaching and the year is drawing to a close. Whether with or without snow, with endless expanses, rolling hills and alpine mountains, Lower Austria's landscape is both varied and beautiful.

The contemplative pre-Christmas period can be experienced in Lower Austria on numerous winter hikes in the middle of untouched landscapes past mystical scenes and rustic inns. For a day trip including a culinary highlight, the Zauberblick Runde on the Semmering, the hiking tour on the Tirolerkogel or the Walderlebnisweg in the Zwettltal are ideal. Both idyllic winter hikes and Advent walks in cosy towns, cities and alleys in Lower Austria, with or without animal company, are an excellent way to soak up the winter sun, enjoy the silence of Advent and escape from everyday life before Christmas.
