Last Sunday the sun was shining and I enjoyed a beautiful autumn afternoon walking through the vineyards in Lower Austria's Kamptal.

I started in Mollands, a small village that belongs to the market community of Schönberg am Kamp

From there I walked in northern direction through fields and vineyards to the "Stieferner Jägerkreuz", a wayside cross erected by the hunters of Stiefern, the nearby village that now also belongs to Schönberg.

From there I turned right and walked through woodland and vineyards.

When the weather is fine you have a wonderful view to the Schneeberg, the highest mountain of Lower Austria. "Schneeberg" means "snow mountain" and the top of this mountain is now already covered with snow.

Finally I reached the Irblingkreuz, a cross located on a hill called Irbling. From there you have a beautiful view down to the Kamptal.

For getting back I chose another way.

I walked via the Schmalzberg. On the way back I passed the "Mollandser Jägerkreuz", a wayside cross erected by the hunters of Mollands.

The total walking time was about 1 hour and 45 minutes, but since I took a lot of photos (also with my drone) I needed about 2 hours.
