Ennsradweg - 4th day stage

In Weng in the Gesäuse we stand directly at the Gesäuse entrance. Unbelievable: On a length of about one kilometre the Enns falls over a waterfall of 50 metres into the depth and then squeezes 20 kilometres through the narrow gorges between the Buchstein group and the Hochtorg group.

Our tour continues via Hieflau and Großreifling, past the Wasserspielpark Eisenwurzen to St. Gallen with its Gallenstein Castle to Altenmarkt. Gallenstein Castle, formerly the administrative seat of Admont Abbey, is now a well-known venue after a great deal of renovation work. Among other things, the famous festival takes place here every year. But a side trip is also worthwhile in other respects: the castle tavern attracts visitors with its delicious delicacies. From Altenmarkt it goes across the Styrian/Upper Austrian border to the village of Weyer.

Please note that the route on a section of this stage (in the Gesäuse area) is along the road and therefore also a "piggyback" transport by public transport is offered. Especially if you are travelling with small children, this section is not advisable - please note the information under the heading "Safety instructions"!
