Village path

Open
The Village path in Vorau in the Joglland - Waldheimat region is a leisurely half-day hike for experienced hikers, with a magnificent view over the Vorau basin.
The hike starts in Vorau at the Griesplatz. This is the center of the market town with several stores, cafes and inns in the area. A short walk up to Vorau Abbey, the outdoor swimming pool or the town hall also invite you to explore the market town.  Especially the Augustinian canons' monastery Vorau convinces with a very special flair, during guided tours you can discover the impressive library and the sacristy. For families, a visit to the Urkraft Arena is especially recommended, here you can let off steam as you please.

The Village path itself leads along short stretches of road, through forests and across meadows to wonderful vantage points and back to Griesplatz, the center of Vorau.
