The Eselsteig Trail is a narrow, historic path leading to the Emmerberg Castle ruins. It once served as a transport route for pack animals carrying supplies to the castle. Today, it's an idyllic hiking trail that winds through the forest and offers a beautiful, natural route to the impressive ruins. A worthwhile climb for anyone who wants to combine history and nature.

The Emmerberg Castle ruins are located on a ridge near the Prosset Gorge and are among the historic fortresses of Lower Austria. First mentioned around 1170, they served as an important defensive point on what was then the northern border of the Carantanian March. Although they were never militarily tested, they were inhabited until 1760 before they began to decay – triggered by the sale of the roof structure. Although the ruins are now inaccessible for safety reasons, their imposing remains and picturesque location make them a fascinating sight.

The Starhemberg castle ruins are located in the Piesting Valley in Lower Austria on a hill not far from Dreistetten. A renovation with gradual opening is planned (the site is currently closed for safety reasons).
