    Jauerling round: from Aggsbach Markt to Maria Laach

    From Aggsbach Markt, our path leads up to the Bireben plateau and through the Schildgraben further to Seeb. Through the hamlets Schlaubing and Litzendorf, we hike to Kreuzstöckerl, where we can rest comfortably. After visiting the Gothic pilgrimage church and the Kerblerhaus, we end the stage at the market square in Maria Laach.

    >>>Here’s the hiking report by Wachau Inside!

    Author’s recommendation

    Recommended is the 24/7 farm shop in Maria Laach in the Kerblerhaus in the town center, open around the clock and daily with fine regional delicacies (for the hearty hiking snack) and souvenirs produced around the Jauerling. Furthermore: outdoor seating area, children's play and coffee corner

    There are many interesting themed and circular hiking trails in the Jauerling Nature Park.
