Beautiful hike with wonderful panoramas.

The surroundings of Wildbad Einöd exude a lonely, wild atmosphere, enhanced by the narrowness from which you break out southwards towards Carinthia. In addition to Dürnstein Castle, the swimming pond at Pilgramhof and the double pull bridge, the path offers insights into remote regions.
