The Waldviertel is a part of Austria close to the Czech boarder. It is known for deep, lush forests, great landscape and awesome food and beer.<\/p>\n

Along the Waldviertel is a 230 km long hiking trail<\/strong> called the<\/p>\n

Hiking Trail Along The Lainsitz<\/h2>\n

The river Lainsitz starts in the Austrian town Karlstift, flowing along the Waldviertel to the Czech boarder in Chlum.<\/p>\n

The 230 km long<\/strong> trail is divided into 4 daily stages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Waldviertel,
STARTING POINT: oldest brewery town in Austria and history rich WEITRA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From Weitra to Gm\u00fcnd<\/h2>\n

We hiked along the second stage from Weitra<\/strong>, the oldest brewery town in Austria to Gm\u00fcnd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the second part of the trail did not show us a glimpse of the Lainsitz but we didn\u00b4t miss the river. The landscape was fascinating enough (I think I took at least<\/em> 30 pictures of different toadstools).<\/p>\n

In the morning we met the local night watchmen and author Ernest Zederbauer<\/strong>. He was our guide<\/strong> for today. Before we started we went to the Brauhaus and picked up our lunch for the 20 km long walk<\/strong>. Cheese sandwiches, apple juice, water, an apple and not to forget: beer chocolate. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It is a good idea to take some food and drinks with you because there are hardly any settlements along the way.<\/p>\n

Because we already had a tour in the brewery and up the castle Weitra we started our hike immediately…<\/p>\n

…stopping again 2 minutes later for a chat with locals.<\/p>\n

While we left the town of Weitra we passed fields full of grain and flowers.<\/p>\n
