FOOD
WACHAU TRAIL
All food and drinks offered are sourced from the region. Fresh preparation and the involvement of local restaurants are key, and we do our best to minimize waste.
Here you will find an overview of the planned refreshment stations (as of October 2025), including opening hours and offerings. The refreshment stations will be staffed by the Wachau Trail Team as takeaway stations.
Please note that the distances between stations are long. Therefore, be sure to bring a backpack with drinks (e.g., tea) and food such as energy bars or snacks for self-sufficiency (mandatory).

Let's celebrate the Wachau Trail together!
The Wachau Trail is not just about the challenge on the trail, but also about the experience afterwards!
In the finish area, we place great importance on a shared get-together where we celebrate our successes, exchange experiences and enjoy the special atmosphere.
Whether you finish first or last – what counts at the finish line is team spirit, the shared passion for hiking or running, and the pride in what you've achieved. We'll end the day together with good food and drinks in a great atmosphere.
Because the Wachau Trail is an experience that connects people!
