Where mini-bikes and monster scooters "unwind ":
The best tips for outings with children.

No wonder, because there's really a lot to discover here. Especially when you look around St. Corona am Wechsel. Uphill, for example, we follow the Corona’s Ant Trail, always tracing the footsteps of the Queen of the Forest. The child-friendly 2.5 km trail with 15 stations leads to the cosy relaxation area. The Corona Coaster is far from relaxing. The popular summer toboggan run speeds down into the valley at up to 40 km/h, accompanied by an adult, children from the age of 4 years are allowed to ride along. Another highlight for the whole family is the Motorikpark, a huge playground for young and old. Even 2-year-olds will find age-appropriate stations here. Starting with the kite simulator, in which you can swings casually through the air, to the balancing course, fitness outdoor area or the relaxed stone age playground, there really is something for everyone - also for hobby sports enthusiasts. In the Mini-Bikepark, you can ride up the mountain on the conveyor belt - and down again over two cool stretches (from 3 and from 5 years). Larger mountain bikers are attracted to the Wexl Trails, which have been designed by professional bikers, among others. Our own shuttle service takes bikers and bikes comfortably up the mountain.

In winter, the Wechsel near St. Corona is transformed into a family ski area, with a ski school, winter children's playground, bob and toboggan run, night skiing, disco evenings and night torch toboggan. Also a cool tip in winter: The Mönichkirchen-Mariensee ski area, with slopes ranging from easy to difficult, fun park action and its own race video track.

In summer you can race down the mountain on the scooter and mountain cart track in Mönichkirchen. An adrenaline rush for the whole family amidst beautiful mountain panoramas. Just around the corner, there is a swing path for children of all ages. Energetic hikers are greeted by seesaws, swings and relaxation elements along the 2.7 km path towards the absolute highlight, the Almschaukel observation platform. In the climatic health resort you can refresh yourself in the water park and salaërium at the “Lebenswasser” themed trail. Besides the evaporation pond, biotope and swamp landscape, an educational footpath is waiting to be explored.

Which brings us to hiking: Of course there are also fantastic hiking trails. The exploration tours during the "Forest Expedition for Whirlwinds” are particularly exciting. . Young and old adventurers discover the secrets of the forest and the region by way of video messages from nature and landscape guide Konrad Riegler. Excitement is also guaranteed on the Wildwater Themed Trail, where you can cross mountain streams over tree trunks, meet a waterfall and a bivouac, and be guided by numerous information boards. The Wechsel offers a wide range of other family-friendly hiking trails.

The drop on the hot stone:
A great programme in bad weather.

Protected from the rain, you can walk through the Hermann’s Cave along an exciting themed trail. Lower Austria's largest stalactite cave stretches labyrinth-like over 73 metres in altitude and is home to many species of bats, which can be observed here. It is also possible to keep dry in the Aspang Automobile Museum, which is sure to set the motor enthusiast's pulse racing.

The alpacas and the pot-bellied pig:
Accommodation for families.

You are at home with the alpacas on the Wachabauer family farm near Mönichkirchen. It is not only these particularly quiet and peaceful animals that provide relaxation here. The farm's own playground with trampoline also allows parents some time out. Cats, rabbits and pygmy goats, a pot-bellied pig and sweet mini Shetland ponies cavort around the Dissauer organic farm in St. Corona. The animals look forward to some goodies and treats from the kids before they go off to the forest playground with a tepee. There is also a play area with a tower, swing and sandbox in the evergreen courtyard.

Great pleasure for the little ones:
The best child-friendly inns.

A cosy guest garden with playground and a beautiful restaurant with tiled stove await you at the scenic Fally country inn in Ödenkirchen high above Kirchberg am Wechsel. The large wine and schnapps assortment inspires the grown-ups and the children's playground delights the young guests. The Enzian alpine guesthouse in Mönichkirchen even has a complete play ship at the large children's playground. Children will also find a play biotope, a swimming pond to cool off and a children's playroom so that their parents can peacefully eat and enjoy themselves.
