What is special about guided hikes?
The gentle, steady movement during the hikes focuses our attention on the immediate surroundings and shows us the treasures that are waiting for us right outside our front door. Movement in nature strengthens our immune system, invigorates muscles, organs and circulation, and activates our brain. Each of the 8 hiking trails is accompanied by a person who knows the route and knows about the special features along the way and in the surrounding area. The conversations in the hiking group are an additional enrichment, according to the motto: "LIVE TOGETHER IN DIVERSITY!"

Turn-by-turn directions

From the starting point south to the signpost, here is a beautiful view to Feldbach, continue along the edge of the forest down to the state road, which we cross. Then we hike through the forest on a short section steeply uphill. On the height we enjoy the wonderful view to the Gleichenberger Kogeln, to the Stradnerkogel and to the Riegersburg. The short detour to the chapel is worth it - there is a resting place there! From the public observatory we hike a bit along the planetary path past Susi's garden (Lebensgarten). In Wieden we have the opportunity to quench our thirst and taste whisky at Lava Bräu. On the field path we then head parallel to the state road back north to the ham manufactory.

Character of the trail
Mostly on field and forest paths, varied with many interesting statoins along the way and beautiful views.

Equipment

Proper backpack packing makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within reach in a side pocket. All the things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit, including blister plasters, belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to dress in layers.
