Winter and rain hiking trail

Route characteristics: 90% asphalt, 10% forest and meadow paths

Make sure when choosing the route that it suits your fitness level. Check whether the restaurants you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your mobile phone and maps in your backpack.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, if necessary trekking poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient supplies (snack, muesli bar, fruit, water).

The route runs along the Herrensee to the beach, from there uphill to the right to the theater and holiday village Königsleitn. Then it goes a short distance towards Schandachen and finally continues towards Saass. On the right side of the route is a resting place, the tree group "Three Brothers." After passing through the dispersed settlement Saass, we pass the neo-baroque little castle in Hörmanns. After the small bridge on the left, you are immediately in the village of Hörmanns, at the end of which the path leads back to the Herrensee. Here you have the choice of whether to use the Herrensee circular path on the left or right to return to the starting point of the hike.

Free parking at Stadtplatz as well as park & ride facility nearby

By bus from Göpfritz or Gmünd to Litschau. Especially recommended in the summer months is the journey from Gmünd to Litschau by the nostalgic Waldviertel railway.

Your exact route can be planned with the VOR route planner. www.vor.at

Warming up in the Relax indoor pool Litschau with its small but fine sauna area is highly recommended!
