Hi, I'm Karin, founder of daslebenspueren.at. I organise and accompany guided hikes in the vicinity of Vienna. With a maximum of 4 people, the groups are small and private. It allows me to respond individually to the wishes and needs of the participants. The majority of the tours are easy to moderate. On this tour, we will see parts of the towns of Stein and Dürnstein. We will enjoy spectacular views on vineyards, the Danube and the surrounding UNESCO protected landscapes while following antique wine trails. Get to know the Wachau valley on foot and discover the landscape in a way you could never have done from a bicycle, car or boat. Smell it, taste it, feel the soul of it!
