The Lupine Trail is particularly fragrant in spring to mid-summer, when the lupines, which belong to the butterfly family, are in flower.

This trail is a circular route. From the starting point, it runs past the quaint local history museum and after a few hundred meters it reaches the military cemetery with fallen soldiers from the Second World War. The trail continues to meander through the forest and is lined with numerous lupines, also known as wolf beans, along the way.

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)

Sturdy shoes

Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".
