Drei Berge Weg Böheimkirchen

Description

The 3 mountains trail shows the versatility of Böheimkirchen. The tour starts at the park with its impressive avenue and a monument commemorating the 1000th anniversary of the first documentary mention in 985. Those interested in history can read up on Böheimkirchen's key historical dates here. Then it's over the hill between Michelbach and Perschling. Here, finds from the Neolithic period point to thousands of years of settlement in the area. From the station, you have a wonderful panoramic view of the municipality. The Westbahn has connected Böheimkirchen with Vienna since 1858. The route then continues over 3 mountains. The first is the Schildberg (331m), at the summit of which a contemplative rest offers tired hikers relaxation. The route continues over the Kollersberg (354m) and its foothills, the Plattenberg. The near-natural forests on these foothills of the Alps consist mainly of beech, oak and spruce. If you are lucky, you may come across tree frogs, toads or fire salamanders. The second half of the tour is completely different. After passing through the village of Mechters, the route continues through the intensively farmed agricultural landscape. A detour to the ruins of St. Cäcilia is also possible. It was probably devastated by Napoleonic troops in 1809. Since then it has been left to decay; a mighty oak tree has already grown in the middle of the nave. The last few kilometers are along the banks of the Perschling, which you can stroll along in the direction of flow.
