Overview

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. Before we start our hike in the surrounding hills, we visit the famous medieval town of Durnstein. The hiking trail is considered one of the most beautiful in the whole Wachau region and offers fantastic views over the valley. The unique landscape has an almost Mediterranean touch with its holm oak forests. As well, we will visit the striking and well-preserved castle ruins of Durnstein before ending the day in one of the local wine taverns (optional).

Climbing to castle ruins and Danube overlooks

Published on Jun, 2023

We hiked up a winding mountain trail with fabulous viewpoints overlooking small towns along the Danube River. One stop was at the ruins of the Durnstein castle. It was a vigorous climb, but well worth the effort! Our guide did an excellent job!

Karin is an excellent host and guide. The logistics and activity schedule was thoughtful and well-planned. Hike was the perfect length followed by the opportunity to stop for a delicious meal. Karin is very easy to talk to and I thoroughly enjoyed her company along the journey. I recommend any of the itineraries that she offers!!
