Jauerling Circuit: From Emmersdorf to Weiten
Our hike leads from Emmersdorf past Rothenhof Castle through the picturesque hamlet of Hain to St. Georgen. Through blooming fields we follow the path up to Pömling and then back down to Eitental. Over the Lohsdorfer Höhe and the Kögelfeld we reach the hamlet of Mörenz and shortly after at the Spielerkreuz the highest point of the stage. Past Nasting we reach Weiten with its fortified church on an old service road, where our stage ends.
Cultural highlights include the Magdalene Chapel in Emmersdorf and the fortified church in Weiten, the original parish of southern Waldviertel. In Weiten is the "Valley of Sundials" museum. Guided tours of the smithy and the workshop are available for groups, ; 02785/8292.
