Right next to the old Imperial Road, between Vienna and Prague, lies the small market town of Echsenbach. Characterized by its rural idyll and hospitality, the hiker encounters a wide variety of sights along the way, from the past to the present: religious, such as the parish church, the Kaisermarterl - cultural, such as the first schnapps glass museum in Austria - fun and games in the middle of the countryside. You should take at least three hours to enjoy the hike and get to know our community. We recommend this circular hike for those who want to hike partly on asphalt paths. The tour can also be done by bike. Travel time approx. 50 min.
The path leads you through Echsenbach towards Rieweis. At the water reservoir, turn left onto a field path and enjoy a magnificent view of Echsenbach. You continue walking on the road to Gerweis. In the center of Gerweis, a playground invites children to romp around. Continuing towards Mayerhöfen, the path in the village of Mayerhöfen turns off to the "3 Kaisermarterl": During a Kaisermanœuvre in 1891, the Emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph I, the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and King Albert I of Saxony met here to enjoy the wonderful view. Continuing through forest and meadows, you reach the Rieweiser Höhe and after 800 meters again the water reservoir. On the L8100 road, you return to Echsenbach, where our schnapps glass museum invites you to visit.
Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, if necessary telescopic poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).
Make sure the route you choose matches your fitness level. Check if the restaurants you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and maps in your backpack. For cross-border routes, always carry a passport or ID card.
