You can get to know the market town of Edlitz in no time at all via the "Plaudermarkt" circular hiking trail.
If you want to explore the beautiful market town of Edlitz on a leisurely walk, you can do so on the "Plaudermarkt" circular hiking trail. The town center is easily accessible both by public transport and by car and is an ideal starting point for a hike through Edlitz. Here you pass a Nah und Frisch Mark, a Raiffeisen bank, the municipal office and the schools. The Nepomuk Chapel is also right on the way. A visit to the beautiful, late Gothic fortified church in Edlitz and the interesting and informative introductory documentation of the Wehrkichenstraße is definitely worthwhile. The "Bucklige Welt" fortified church route starts in Edlitz and leads past the beautiful fortified churches of Krumbach, Hochneukirchen, Bad Schönau, Kirchschlag, Lichtenegg, Hollenthon, Wiesmath, Hochwolkersdorf, Bromberg, Lanzenkirchen and Katzelsdorf. The Plauermarkt loop then takes you along the Edlitzbach stream and along beautiful forest paths, past the sports field and back to the village. The trail is suitable for young and old due to its short and rather flat route. However, the forest path is not suitable for baby carriages.
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be an all-around beautiful and safe experience. Please therefore note the following:
Preparation
Make sure when choosing the route that it matches your experience and fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. Weather in the mountains can change very quickly and unexpectedly. So always start out properly equipped (e.g., rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit are open. Inform someone about your route choice and planned return before you set out.
