Kaisersteig Circular Hiking Route Gutenstein

Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a completely beautiful and safe experience. Please note the following:

Preparation

Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your experience and fitness. Check the weather report in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Always start out properly equipped (e.g., rain protection).

Check if the huts and snack stations you want to visit on the way are open. Inform someone about your route choice and planned return time before you set off.

Always take appropriate maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the route, take sun and rain protection, as well as water and a small snack. Take your mobile phone and save the emergency number for mountain rescue: 140

We start at the Waldbauernmuseum and walk through the Bleichgarten towards the fire station.
At the fire station, we keep left along Längapiestingstraße next to the castle gardens until we reach the Lohmühle. Here we find a sign saying "Kaiserstieg"; we turn left over a bridge. We always keep left and see a second sign with the inscription "Kaiserstieg" (hidden and mounted too high). We continue along the Ofenbach stream to the old quarry. Again, we keep left and walk up moderately steep switchbacks to the ridge. Then we turn left and follow the path down into the village.

Free parking available at the Waldbauernmuseum.

From Vienna or Graz, take the A2 to the Wöllersdorf exit, then continue on B21 towards Gutenstein. In Gutenstein, make a slight right onto Markt to the Waldbauernmuseum.

Take the regional train from Wr. Neustadt main station towards Gutenstein to the final stop, then continue on foot along federal road 21 to the Waldbauernmuseum. (approx. 2 km) Also note the bus schedules from Wr. Neustadt to Gutenstein.
