What is special about guided walks?
The gentle, steady movement on the hikes focuses our attention on our immediate surroundings. 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. The conversations in the hiking group are an additional enrichment, according to the motto: "LIVE TOGETHER IN DIVERSITY!"

Author’s recommendation

This hike can be shortened in two places. Either across the biotope or along the sidewalk along the B66. There are interesting exhibitions in the Meierhof and Kornberg Castle.

Turn-by-turn directions

The start is in the direction of Feldbach, via the Kornberg settlement to the Auersbach retention basin, through the Kornberg military training area past biotopes in the direction of the model airfield and on to the Meierhof farm. Then there is an ascent via the horse trail to Kornberg Castle with a rest and play area as well as gastronomy. Passing the castle, we take the Zwergenweg down to the state road and at the rose arch across the Auersbachtal valley to Kleinwalkersdorf. We continue to the left until we reach the main road and then turn right along the sidewalk. After about 400 m we turn left into the biotope and across the high water dam we return to the inn "Das Herbst".

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.
