Hiking tour Starting from
Kaumberg is the westernmost municipality in Triestingtal, just before Gerichtsberg, the watershed between Triestingtal and Gölsental. The difference between the rolling hills of the Vienna Woods and the foothills of the Alps is clearly evident here. To the north and east of the village of Kaumberg, shorter hikes through hilly cultural landscapes are possible, which are also described in the hiking map of the municipality of Kaumberg as Froschweg, Hahnweg, Burgweg, Hirschweg and Fuchsweg. The ascent to the Hocheck (1,037 m) from Kaumberg, the easternmost 1000 m peak in the Lower Austrian Pre-Alps, and the subsequent long ridge hike are a challenge in terms of fitness. The village of Kaumberg itself has plenty to see with the barrel fountain on the main square, the Gothic parish church of St. Michael and the local history museum. A particular highlight of the municipality and a very popular excursion destination is the ruins of Araburg Castle, which can be seen from afar. The Fuchsweg trail leads mainly across meadows and pastures through the hilly Wienerwald landscape to the north of Kaumberg.
The Fuchsweg offers a short hike directly from the market square. It climbs comfortably across meadows and on asphalt roads to the Halbwaxgruber farm, where you turn east and walk almost flat across meadows and along forests to the start of the way back. Here you have beautiful views of the Schöpfl to the north and the Hocheck to the southeast. Descending across meadows and on goods roads, you soon reach the B 18 again, which takes you back to the village.
