Weitwanderweg Kremstal-Donau 02: Mautern - Furth bei Göttweig

The stage starts at the town hall of Mautern on St. Pöltnerstraße heading towards Raab Barracks. Shortly after the barracks gate, Schanzweg branches off to the right, which we follow. At Hauerkreuz, we keep left and enter Neubergweg and its namesake vineyard. From Zellerkreuz, the path leads through the natural monument "Hohlweg Zellergraben", a loess gorge with walls up to 12 m high, to Furth. We walk through well-known vineyards like Silberbühel, Oberfeld, and Gottschelle and pass the Further Kellergraben with taverns. At the end of this loess path, we reach the settlement area, turn right into Kellergraben, and near the kindergarten turn left into St. Wolfgang-Weg. Passing Further parish church, located at the foot of the Benedictine Abbey Göttweig, the "Austrian Montecassino", we go through the gateway, over the Fladnitz bridge, and then reach our stage destination, the town office of the market town Furth near Göttweig.
