The main town in the Triestingtal valley, the municipality of Berndorf, is nestled in the hills of the Triestingtal valley, surrounded by black pine forests. The town is known nationwide for its historical development, which is closely linked to the Krupp family. Traces of this period can be seen everywhere in the town. For example, the workers' housing estates, villas, schools and factory buildings bear witness to this period. A museum in Bahnstraße is therefore also dedicated to this era. The style classes of the schools in Berndorf, which are built in twelve different architectural styles, are among the world's most unique art venues of their kind. The Berndorf municipal theater and the Margarethenkirche church also contribute to the town's rich cultural offering. For hikers, there are many varied hiking options starting from the town, ranging from short, educational hikes (forest nature trail) to long, extended hikes (Waxeneck). However, a special highlight of any visit to Berndorf is always the ascent of the viewing tower on the Guglzipf with its panoramic views.

Description

On this hiking tour, the Guglzipf is first climbed via the "Mühlsteig" (forest nature trail). After this steep ascent, hikers can look forward to the forest hut on the Guglzipf and the viewing tower, which offers a 360° panorama across the treetops of the pine forest. The route then takes a leisurely, mostly gentle descent towards Aichkreuz and continues along the Enzesfeld golf course into the Aichgraben. Here you hike leisurely out of the valley to St. Veit railroad station. The way back to Berndorf uses the Triestingtal cycle path no. 42.

After returning to Berndorf, we recommend a visit to the Krupp Museum in Bahnhofstraße
