Gaisbergweg

From the main square, walk across the Thaya Bridge up to Raabs Castle, and in Oberndorf, follow the road to the left, passing the All Saints Church. At the next opportunity, turn left and follow the road. Turn left before the fire pond, and you’ll reach the Gaisberg, which offers a view of the castle and the town. Pass the warehouse on your left and continue down Hamerlingstraße; turn left at the new Youth and Family Guest House—cross the Thaya Footbridge—take Kollmitzsteig—then turn left toward Hauptstraße to return to the main square.

As a memento of your hike in the Waldviertel, you can pick up a hiking badge from the Kollmitz Ruins at the snack stand there.

Hiking badges are round plaques, designed and inscribed using pyrography, which serve as both a souvenir and a recognition of outstanding achievements. Dedicated hiking badge collectors are rewarded with a free premium hiking badge. For more information, visit www.wandermarken.at.
