Description
The most beautiful trail in the national park leads for long stretches along the Thaya to the Umlaufberg. From the vantage point at the crossing, visitors can enjoy an impressive view of the meanders of the Thaya.
The path, which is also a trail in parts, leads for long stretches along the Thaya to the Umlaufberg, one of the most impressive elements of the national park, and through untouched nature and charming landscapes. However, the route does have some steeper sections. Sturdy footwear, stamina and sure-footedness are required. The hike can be started in Hardegg or Merkersdorf.
The way back is mostly on an asphalted accompanying path to the public road (not included in walking time, duration: 1 hour/4 km).
