Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
There we turn left again along the gravel path to the border crossing in Pölten. There you have the possibility to choose the shortcut path. This leads us further along the border stream, through the village of Gruisla, where we reconnect with the Klöcher Traminerweg. The second variant is the path across the border bridge to Slovenia. In Slovenia, you walk along the main road for a while, then turn half-right into a forest and continue along the road at the end of the forest, then turn left at the crossroads and walk up the hill to Gerlinci. You pass a wine tavern and an inn, continue through the village until you reach the lookout post at the old elementary school. From there you have a wonderful view. There is again the possibility for a shortcut route, which goes along the road for about 400m, then turns left and rejoins the path.
The 2nd variant leads after the viewpoint left down into the valley, past a bread baker, after a short piece right away into the forest and up to a direct marketer. From there it goes back down the forest, turn right and go along a dirt road past agricultural crops until before the border crossing in Deutsch Haseldorf. We turn left at the road, cross the border bridge and walk through the village of Deutsch Haseldorf past refreshment stations. At the end of the village we turn half-right, walk next to the vineyards up the hill to the main road. There you are rewarded with a magnificent view. Cross the road and turn left towards Weinlandhof, where we rejoin the Klöcher Traminerweg. This leads us to the Hochwarth, down to the castle ruins in the village of Klöch to the Vinothek.

Equipment
Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
