The Silbersteig leads from Eibenstein to the Kollmitz ruins. As a circular hike of around 13km, this can be completed in just over 3.5 hours. A great route not only in terms of landscape but also historically.

View from Uhufelsen overlooking the Thaya Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Magnificent view high above a Thayaschlinge (Hadlitzbergschlinge)!

Depending on your head for heights, the views are more or less spectacular. The small side detour to the Uhufelsen on the way between the mausoleum and the castle is definitely worth it.

October 10, 2022,Eibenstein- Ruine Kollmitz- Silbersteig (71)

This hike had been on our plan for a long time.
During the first half we wondered why the round is called "SilberSTEIG".

The question was answered on the way back. The ascent on the slope to the Thaya was strenuous to walk through this mixture of roots, stones and acorns with leaves. Leaves and acorns are absent in summer, …

The Kollmitz ruins are beautiful, you can see them for free and there is also a bar in the summer. On the way home …
