Route description From Eichgraben to the Roman Graves

We start our hike at Eichgraben/Altlengbach station and follow Karl-Föderl-Straße to Gartensteig. Straight downhill, we reach the main street via Huttenstraße, which we follow to the left. On the way to the roundabout, we pass the Wienerwald Museum. At the roundabout, we walk along Friedhofstraße (yellow-green) to Gärtnerstraße. Here we turn left and follow hiking trail 5 until we turn left onto hiking trail 4 (yellow-green). We follow it to the fork in the path, where we turn right onto hiking trail 3 (yellow-green). Arriving at the meadow, we follow the signposts left towards the Roman hiking trail into the forest until we reach a signpost towards the Höhenwanderweg. We follow the left path (yellow-green, blue) to the T-junction. Here we walk downhill back to the meadow and follow the sign towards the Eichgraben local loop (blue) to Rittsteigstraße. From there we go downhill to the main road and from there turn left to Rekawinkel station.

Safety information

Despite the most careful research, there may be unforeseen short-, medium- or even long-term closures on the routes (e.g. due to forestry closures by landowners). Parking options recommended by us may be private or subject to charges – please pay attention to the signage on site. Some paths may pass in sections or entirely through chargeable businesses/areas (e.g. nature parks or gorges). This is usually explicitly pointed out in the description. All information is provided without guarantee and the use of the paths is at your own risk. Any path closures as well as notices from hunters and landowners must be observed.
