Kremstal-Danube Long Distance Trail 11: Stratzing – Droß

The stage starts in the wine village of Stratzing on a high plateau between the Danube, Krems River and Kamp. The Stratzinger Kellergasse and the local Eiszeitweg already invite you to take your first worthwhile diversions there. The route then leads through extensive vineyards and a shady woodland along the Stratzingbach stream. Thus, we first go to Priel, then on to our destination in Droß. After the fantastic landscapes on the way, the Fatima pilgrimage church and the Renaissance castle Droß are also real eye-catchers. In the castle chapel of St. George, you can also marvel at some of the oldest frescoes in Austria. With these incredible impressions, the hike worth seeing finally comes to an end.

From the Stratzinger Municipal Office, we walk a short distance down the Untere Hauptstraße, where we then turn right into Hollerzeile. Passing the parish church of St. Nicholas, we come to the cemetery, keep left, and after about 200 m, we arrive at the playground. We continue straight ahead, past the Sunogeln and Hochsatzen vineyards, hike through a shady section of forest along the Stratzingbach stream and then arrive in the village of Priel. Turn right at the main road and cross it to the north until you reach the horse paddock. Once there, turn right and immediately left again. Arriving at the main street of Droß, we reach Schlossstraße in a north-westerly direction and then the municipal office as our destination.
