Very nice cozy round. The first part is largely in the shady forest. The way back from Rossatzbach goes through the orchards and is very exposed to the sun. We were lucky that it was partly Was cloudy.

It would have liked to rain, but didn't dare ;-)

Some nice wine taverns along the way

Yesterday I hiked on the Rossatz Panorama Trail to the watchful eye of the Wachau. From this beautiful sculpture you have a fantastic view of Rossatz and Dürnstein. The circular route leads past vineyards, orchards and stone terraces and is easy to walk. Recommended hiking tour with beautiful views!

End of the year in the Wachau with very mild temperatures.

It went over the panorama path on the opposite side of Dürnstein.
After the panorama path ends at St. Lorenz, it goes between orchards and vineyards back to Rossatzbach.

Why not decide what to do on the last day of the year? New Years Eve Hike! In fantastically mild weather, the panorama trail from Rossatzbach to Sankt Lorenz took place. The views of the landscape were excellent, but the way back along the orchards and next to the Danube was also very beautiful. The only small disadvantage on the …

Today we walked through vineyards and apricot orchards near Rossatz. The apricot blossoms are just beginning; it will take several more days until they're in full bloom.
But it was still beautiful 😉
