Destination point of the tourNiedermarkt
Starting from the Niedermarkt in Klosterneuburg, the path leads us towards Stadtplatz and onwards to the Little House at the Spot. Then we follow Hundskehle along to Hofkirchnergasse, where we turn right and pass by the gingerbread maker and the Sebastian column. Continuing towards Stadtplatz, we turn left into Martinstraße. We follow this until we turn right onto Kaisersteig and then follow Wasserzeile back to the starting point. The path is marked with the respective stations.
Along the route, there are some nice places to stop, such as Cafe-Restaurant Veit and Hotel Anker. Besides these two stops, there is of course much more to discover in Klosterneuburg.
