Hiking around the Waxenberg

This tour can be extended as desired. The area offers many possibilities, such as a visit to the sequoia trees, a hike to the summit of the Waxenberg, or up to the Göttweiger Berg (UNESCO World Hertige site).
Tips in the surrounding area:
- In Klein-Wien, opposite the church of St. Blasien, the family-run Landgasthof Schickh invites you to stop for a bite to eat. Here, guests are spoiled with seasonal, down-to-earth and home-made dishes.
- Impressive wooden sculptures can be admired along the "Skulpturenweg" hiking trail between Paudorf and Höbenbach. They are the result of the "International Wood Sculpture Symposium", which was launched in 1997.
