Göpfritzschlag - Hohenwarth - Münchreith

From the Thaya Bridge, walk northeast up the main road away from the Thaya River. After about 500 m, turn left onto Parkstraße after passing the church. At the Parkstraße/Schlossweg intersection, take neither road but continue straight ahead along a small stream across the fields. After about 1 km, you’ll reach Griesbachspitz, where a bridge crosses the Schladeinbach. Here you’ll cross the “Um die Griesleiten” hiking trail. Do not cross the stream, however; instead, continue on a path along the right bank. After another kilometer, the stream turns sharply to the right. Continue straight ahead toward Göpfritzschlag. Before Göpfritzschlag, turn right and walk a short distance back along the B30 toward Karlstein before turning left shortly after crossing the stream. Continue along this path until you reach Hohenwarth after 2 km. At the entrance to Hohenwarth, walk a short distance along the road toward Münchreith. After about 100 meters, however, turn right and continue along the edge of the forest all the way to Münchreith. Near the interesting Gothic church, a path branches off from the forest toward Münchreith. Follow this path, which takes you around the village itself. After you’ve walked halfway around the village, you’ll reach a paved road that crosses the B30 after about 1 km and then takes you directly back to Parkstraße. From there, head back to the Thaya Bridge.
