Kinzenschlag hiking trail No. 42

The hiking trail passes by Dornröschenpark and the Cardiovascular Center into the Zwettl valley. You hike upstream and then go over Klein Gundholz up to Kinzenschlag. The return path takes you down into the valley again via Marharts. Along this route, there are always charming views of the typical Waldviertel landscape. Down in the romantic Zwettl valley, you reach the Klaus Chapel. It was originally built as a bathing house and has a bell that, according to legend, makes wishes come true. The path then continues over Klein Reinprechts and past Dornröschenpark back to Groß Gerungs.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, map material, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snacks, muesli bars, fruit, water).

Make sure when choosing your route that it matches your fitness level. Check whether the catering businesses you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and map materials in your backpack.
