<p>From Hojná Voda to Gmünd, the Lainsitztaler Iron Curtain Trail passes through hilly forest and field sections within the natural idyllic landscape of the Waldviertel. Along the historic route, Weitra Castle invites you to an impressive first stop. The permanent exhibition on the Iron Curtain offers unforgettable insights into history, politics, and culture. All cyclists who want to experience rural charm and urban flair are recommended to stay at the destination Gmünd. A visit to the town in the western Waldviertel with its colorful boutiques and inviting cafés perfectly rounds off the route. The good news for those who haven’t had enough: The cycling pleasure can continue! The Lainsitztaler Iron Curtain Trail can ideally be extended by a section of the Iron Curtain Trail – EuroVelo 13 from Gmünd to Hojná Voda on the Czech side. This turns the point-to-point route effortlessly into a varied circular route.</p>
<p>The starting point of the Lainsitztaler Iron Curtain Trail is the Czech Hojná Voda. From there, the route leads by bike across the Austrian border to Hirschenwies and Harbach. Through Wultschau and Reinprechts, you then reach Weitra, where a stop at Weitra Castle is recommended. The remaining section leads from Unserfrau via Wielands to Gmünd, where cozy inns invite you to a well-deserved refreshment.</p><p>Besides scenic advantages and places of historical significance, the Lainsitztaler Iron Curtain Trail also offers sporting flexibility. In combination with the Iron Curtain Trail – EuroVelo 13, the route also works as a circular route. In this case, you can switch to the Austrian side already near the town of Nové Hrady – the highlight Weitra Castle remains part of the program. This adds a varied route experience with historical flair – a rewarding combination.</p>
<p>The route is suitable for trekking bikes.<br />Carry enough food and drink with you!</p>
