Wenigzell - Waldbach - Wenigzell circular trail, hiking trail no. 1
Open
The pleasant hiking route leads from Wenigzell, starting among other things along the Lafnitz to Waldbach and is ideal for enjoying the summer resort.
The hiking route leads from the flower village of Wenigzell along the Kraxenbach stream to Waldbach and is ideal for cooling off. On the ascent to Wenigzell, however, you will work up quite a sweat again. After the Holzer show weaving mill, the trail continues leisurely to the starting point in Wenigzell.
Our tip: Visit the Waldbach waterworks (0664/4308266), the Holzer show weaving mill (0664/5683974), Aroniafelder Zisser vlg. Pfeifer (chokeberry products) and the sea buckthorn gardens (0660/5270488) are worth a visit!
