After leaving Melk Abbey and after crossing the Danube, the Way of St. James in the southern Waldviertel initially runs up the Danube along the banks of the Danube past Emmersdorf, Luberegg Castle and Weitenegg to Urfahr, a place in the municipality of Leiben, on the Danube Cycle Path and then after crossing the Danube Street and Donauuferbahn on a hiking trail via Leiben to Artstetten with Artstetten Castle and on to the pilgrimage site of Maria Taferl . The path then leads back into the Danube Valley to Marbach an der Donau and from there along the Danube to Gottsdorf and Persenbeug .
Project
The signposting of the Way of St. James in the southern Waldviertel was carried out by a project of the eco region Südliches Waldviertel in cooperation with the affected communities Emmersdorf, Leiben, Artstetten, Maria Taferl, Marbach and Persenbeug-Gottsdorf as well as the Persenbeuger local group of friends of nature . The Lower Austrian hiking trail concept was used as the basis for the new signs. The Way of St. James was marked with the Europe-wide uniform Jacob star with symbolized scallop in blue with yellow stripes.
