Open
This HWW hiking route is part of the Wechselland Historical Long-Distance Hiking Trail (HWW), which tells the story of Wechselland along more than 100 HWW stations. More information can be found at www.wechsel-wandern.at.
This HWW hiking route runs along an old cattle drive path from Mönichkirchen via Koglreith and Hofgraben to Friedberg. Along the HWW route, you pass the HWW station Friedberg/Erlebnisberg, where you can explore the history of the former castle (later double castle) Friedberg. The area was only archaeologically investigated in 2017/18, and the latest findings on the castle can be explored as part of the Friedberg Adventure Mountain www.friedberg.gv.at/erlebnisberg.
