Vogelbergsteig
Tour / hiking / bike / ski / Hiking
During the ascent to the Vogelberg you can enjoy wonderful views of Dürnstein and the Danube valley. The relatively steep ascent leads through oak forests. In the last third, the path leaves the forest. Now the route leads through rocks and over a granite slab with boulders - this section is well secured with wire rope and chains. This trail can also be walked with children without any problems - so not that bad. If you also make a detour to the Starhemberg Observatory, the key to the Observatory can be obtained from the Fesslhütte. distance: approx. 5 km total walking time: 4 h (incl. Starhembergwarte)
