Along the way, 15 stations tell you everything about the sources of power that make us who we are, and at the same time you walk through 15 billion years of evolutionary history. In St. Jakob im Walde there is the exhibition center Kräftereich and the blooming Europapark. Wenigzell is known for the Joglland Oasis and the 1st Barefoot Park in Austria. Both communities also belong to the Styrian Flower Road.
