The 5th stage of the trail along the Vienna Alpine Arc (WAB) is an interplay of hills, ditches, coniferous and mixed forests. Thus the short stage becomes a special landscape experience.

Description

The inhabitants of the Bucklige Welt showed themselves to be particularly rebellious and brave when their homeland was threatened by the warriors from the Ottoman Empire, the Kuruzzen.

The last shots in the gate of the fortified church Bad Schönau testify to the hotly contested area and the brave hunchbacked world.

The fortified churches were often the only shelter from the invading Kuruzzen, at the viewpoint Burgruine Kirchschlag one feels transported back into this turbulent past.

Also Turkish fountains and short holes remind of this time. equipment Always take suitable maps with you.

Put on sturdy shoes adapted to the tour, take sun and rain protection, water and a snack.

Take your mobile phone with you and save the mountain rescue emergency number: 140
