Discover Gumping

Gumping combines a strong connection to nature with a tour focused on the Manhartsberg. The village belongs to the municipality of Maissau; the Schleinitzbach lowland nature reserve, with its species-rich wet meadow complex, is located in Gumping. A chapel in the village belongs to the parish of Maissau. There is also information about a cycle path at the foot of the Manhartsberg and the Manhartsberg Loop Trail. Local features and tour information extending beyond the village thus sit side by side.

Nature in the Schleinitzbach lowland

The Schleinitzbach lowland is a specific natural feature of Gumping. It is characterised by its species-rich wet meadow complex. For travellers interested in nature and landscape, it provides a clearly identified point of interest when choosing where to stay. This local feature differs from the scenery along the Manhartsberg Loop Trail: the lowland is in Gumping, while the loop trail offers views of the Manhartsberg. For orientation, the reserve’s wet meadows and the mountain views along the route can be considered two distinct highlights.

The chapel and its parish connection

The chapel is also located in Gumping; it belongs to the parish of Maissau. The municipality and parish affiliations refer to different connections: Gumping belongs to the municipality of Maissau, while the chapel belongs to the parish of Maissau. This distinction helps clarify the local context, with the chapel serving as a separate religious point of interest alongside the nature reserve. If you would like to include religious sites as well as nature in your travel plans, this chapel is one of the village’s specific features.

The Manhartsberg Loop Trail

The Manhartsberg Loop Trail offers another perspective on the landscape. It is 22.10 kilometres long and passes through forests by Gumping and Reikersdorf before reaching the Hubertus Chapel. Along the way, there are views of the Manhartsberg and its picturesque slopes. The route crosses the border between the Weinviertel and Waldviertel regions and reaches the Manhartsberg summit cross. At the end, the elevation is 537 metres above sea level. The trail’s length, forested route and passage between the two regions give you different points of reference for fitting the tour into your stay.

Cycle routes and regional orientation

For cycling, Gumping is linked to a path at the foot of the Manhartsberg: the village is situated along a cycle path there. A separate point of reference for regional tours is the Amethyst World Maissau, where hiking and cycling tours begin. This gives you both a connection to the cycle path in Gumping and a named starting point for hiking and cycling tours at the Amethyst World. When comparing the options, it is helpful to keep these different points of reference distinct.

Gumping between local features and wider tour options

When choosing a place to stay, you can distinguish between features located directly in the village and the wider tour options. The Schleinitzbach lowland and the chapel are in Gumping; the loop trail passes by the village and continues as far as the Hubertus Chapel. The cycle path provides a separate link to the foot of the Manhartsberg, while the Amethyst World Maissau serves as a starting point for hiking and cycling tours. This lets you decide whether nature, religious sites or the route landscape should be the main focus of your stay.
