Path of the labyrinths

Name: Path of the labyrinths
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (2 reviews)

Open

An ideal themed and adventure circular hiking trail for the whole family in the Joglland - Waldheimat region, with many adventure stations that invite us to join in.

The path of the labyrinths in the municipality of Birkfeld (Waisenegg district) invites children to enjoy the fun through the labyrinths and us adults to unwind and slow down. The trail leads us from the center of Waisenegg downhill to the Feistritz river, on the bike path past the Jausenstation-Seehütte, further in the direction of Birkfeld, over forest and meadow paths uphill to the Gallbrunner inn and along the municipal road back to the starting point.

A barefoot trail and six different labyrinths provide variety and entertainment. Text panels invite us to inner contemplation.

The yellow marker boards with the inscription "Weg der Labyrinthe" show us the way from the pavilion at the former Waisenegg municipal office through the entire loop!

We go down the meadow to the asphalt road, there we turn left onto the gravel road.
Follow the gravel road down into the forest to the rope labyrinth.
We follow the signpost until we reach a farm, the road leads us downstream

Back on the cycle path we continue in the direction of Birkfeld until we reach the Blancesteg bridge.
After the bridge we leave the cycle path, cross a gravel road and follow the forest path with a short ascent
After a short stretch we arrive at the willow labyrinth
The exit of the willow labyrinth shows us the way to a gravel road, which leads us to the meditation couch
If we continue up the forest path diagonally to the meadow, along the trees to the soccer field and cross the road, we come to the stone labyrinth.
Through the forest we come to a fish pond
We continue along the gravel road and pass the inn Gallbrunner (+43 3174 4410)
