Class A 4.5

2 December: Schloss Maissau

*A circular hike will lead us from the rolling vineyards up to the granite-plateau of the Waldviertel with boulder strewn Scots pine woods. This countryside has remained relatively unspoiled. Every year Maissau castle, impressively lit up, serves as setting for the Maissau castle Christmas market. The first weekend of advent there will be a presentation of various wines, precious stones and handicrafts, which of course can also be purchased. In addition, there will be tempting culinary delicacies as well as music to guarantee a relaxing time, free of stress.

Route:Note: Route has changes because the trail is closed. This year version: Limberg (288) –Oberdürnbach – Maissau castle Christmas market – Gottfried von Einem-trail – Oberdürnbach – Bf. Limberg-Maissau (300). About 12 km walking (if the weather is nice)
Note: Bring snacks and drinks as some heuriger are closed. The Christmas market might offer some refreshments but no promise
