From ancient Roman settlements to Gothic architecture: The first stage of the Kremstal-Danube long-distance hiking trail impresses with art and culture that invite you to marvel.
Opis
Along the stage from Krems to Mautern, numerous cultural highlights are waiting to be discovered. Even the hike's starting point in the middle of Krems' old town is a real eye-catcher. An ensemble combining Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture gives the city a unique ambience. The colourful Kunstmeile Krems and the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich round off the overall artistic concept. The route finally leads to Mautern via the listed steel truss bridge. The city impresses with its exceptionally well-preserved buildings of the Roman fort of Faviani and its ancient history. You can also admire exciting finds from forgotten times in the Roman Museum. Due to the short distance and easy difficulty, the first stage of the Kremstal-Danube long-distance hiking trail is also suitable for all culture lovers.
