Janetschek Trail in Hochwolkersdorf

The starting point of the hike is located on Dorfstraße at the Gasthaus zur Gemütlichkeit or alternatively on Brombergerstraße at the Gasthaus Furthof, where Station 1 is located. The circular hiking trail covers a total of four kilometers. At the beginning, the path leads west, always along the stations that describe Albert Janetschek's life journey. Soon the second station is reached. Turn left onto Hahnhof street to Station 3 and follow it south until the Hübenweg is reached. Turn left there to Station 4. Follow the path until the Lusthauriegelweg branches off on the left. The path leads over a field to Station 5, the Lustriegel. After enjoying the view, go back the same way and turn left into Schulgasse. At the end of Schulgasse, turn right onto Unter-Ort street, until Kirchenplatz becomes visible on the left. Stations 6 and 7 are located almost opposite each other there. Follow Hofstraße southeast and turn right before the Raiffeisenbank towards Gasthaus zur Gemütlichkeit. At the end of Dorfstraße, the culinary destination, Gasthaus zur Gemütlichkeit, is reached.
