Description
The "Heart of the Mostviertel circular hiking trail" leads over eight stages and more than 110 kilometers between rustic orchards past imposing square farms. The landscape, panoramic views and regional specialties ensure enjoyment all along the way! As a sign of appreciation for the cider pear and its history, you will learn interesting facts about this region. You will also encounter personal stories, regional greats and hidden natural beauties along the way - some in the form of informative stations. From the Ötscher to the Gesäuse to the Tote Gebirge - you can enjoy wide panoramas on numerous sections, especially at "warmly" designed viewing and resting points. The heart-shaped pears accompany you as distinctive symbols on the signposts and in the unmistakable furniture. A tangy sip of Cider, a hearty snack at a Tavern or an extended stop at one of the inns will nourish body and soul along the way. And after a successful day's stage, you can soon hear the wise toast of Cider at a social gathering in the heart of the Mostviertel: "G'sundheit! That's the way to live!"
