The Schauplatzwanderung Hohentauern is a fun and interesting walk. It leads past a total of ten stations, at which several boards inform ramblers about the past of Hohentauern, the locals and the unique natural landscape.

Experience the diversity of nature in a playful way along the water trail at various stations and on the barefoot trail and get to know Hohentauern at the 10 "locations". The rock and cave world, where you can immerse yourself in the history of mining in Hohentauern or whizz down into the valley on the longest slope slide in Styria, is about halfway along the trail
