Brief description

GeBIERgsweg Gaming – the beer hiking experience

Description

On the Gaminger GeBIERgsweg, you learn interesting facts about the liquid gold at 18 stations, which was also recommended by Hildegard von Bingen and Paracelsus for restoring and strengthening health. "Beer is a divine medicine against disease," as Paracelsus defined it.

Garnished with varied interactive stations and many tips, the GeBIERgsweg is a welcome change for interested hikers and beer fans.

Giant beer barrel, hop frame, barley field, viewing platform, and a yeast sculpture make the GeBIERgsweg an exciting and adventurous hike. At two beer stations, you can print a voucher for benefits with Gaminger GeBIERgsdorf partners!

Route description GeBIERgsweg Gaming (Krügerl-Runde)

The starting point of the path is a giant beer barrel in Kartausenpark, which, fitting to the region, was designed from iron by the Ybbsitz blacksmith Franz "Joe" Wahler.

The path leads past the ring wall of Kartause Gaming, further to the Kartausenblick and the Kalvarienberg. The castle pond is also a worthwhile stop, until you can refresh yourself at the well-stocked beer fountain at Weiglteich – naturally with Kartausenbräu and Erzbräu from the two Gaminger breweries. Organic juices from the region are healthy thirst quenchers for the little ones and can also be found in the perfectly chilled fountain. And how about a snapshot? At the photo point by the fountain, you have the opportunity to do so!

Besides the extensive "KRÜGERL-RUNDE" (6 km, walking time 2 hrs.) described here, there is also the shorter "SEIDEL-RUNDE" (3 km, walking time 1 hr.) to choose from. The starting point is also the giant beer barrel in Kartausenpark. If you want to go a bit "higher", then the Erzbräu on the Grubberg is a worthwhile destination, and after 9 km you truly deserve a hearty sip.

Trail markers: small yellow-white signposts with the "GeBIERgsDORF" logo
