Hiking trail no. 31 A hike around the 13-hectare Allentsteig city lake.
Allentsteig is located in the heart of the Waldviertel with a beautiful town lake, surrounded by beautiful forests and fields. The numerous hiking trails offer relaxation and a change from everyday life in a stress-free environment. Those interested in culture can admire two works of art, among other things, while hiking along the edge of the town lake and in the town center. If you really want to experience "pure nature", the hiking trails on the edge of the military training area, which lead through untouched natural landscapes, are just right for you.
Make sure when choosing your route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the restaurants you want to visit are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and map material in your backpack. For cross-border routes, always carry a passport or identity card.
Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, map material, if applicable telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
You walk from Brunnenplatzl towards the town lake along the promenade and pass HORA, a restaurant and wine bar by the lake with a bathing area. From the restaurant, a forest path leads south to the youth meadow. Next to the Lourdes grotto, the tank bridge at the southern end of the lake also offers an exciting photo motif. You return towards Allentsteig below the youth meadow via the lake bridge to Siebenlindenplatz and then turn right there. On the dam stands the landscape meter by the artist Valie Export. From there you head back towards the starting point.
