Our hike along the Path of Art begins at the House of Volcanoes in Stainz. We follow the signs into the village until we reach the Tschartake with a tactile station. A little further to the right of the trail, a basalt stele indicates a geomantic point. Our hike now leads us right along the path to the Tauchenrast where a basalt bomb is deposited. It is a witness of the volcanic activity in the region and comes from the basalt quarry on the opposite Stradnerkogel. We continue along the Klangallee to the idyllically situated Muggendorf Chapel. Through the sound forest our hike leads us to the hill, where a garden of the Grach family along the way entices us to marvel. Shortly after we find the schnapps farm Tischler. Further for us the way to the owl, a wooden sculpture and through the forest up to the chainsaw museum. After that the path leads us downhill again. We now reach our starting point again at the House of Volcanoes via a flat stretch.
Power of the earth:
Along the path there are also geomantic points. Here, where the volcanoes formed the landscape ages ago, the earth offers a glimpse of its unimaginable energy. Those who are ready to feel the power of the earth have here the possibility to experience the depths of the earth's origin.
Breeding ground of the European Roller:
In a unique initiative, the habitat of the European Roller has been preserved by the Blaurackenverein LEiV in Stainz near Straden. Here in the region around Straden there are still some breeding pairs of this extremely rare migratory bird.
