Description
You could now actually lean back comfortably, after all, you've made it. We are doing well, right? The debts are paid off, the children are growing up or even already out of the house.
The question of meaning arises again, sometimes cautiously and quietly, sometimes loudly and urgently.
Between 40 and 50 there is the chance to break the routine, to rediscover yourself and "reformat". To become curious again, to treat yourself to something, much that you cannot buy. Look at your life as you walk!
- Route description From the world main poppy location over the Weyrerteich to the WachtsteinTo "poppy yourself" – that's easy in the poppy village Armschlag! … After that, it continues to Ottenschlag, where the castle shapes the townscape. The path leads towards Bad Traunstein, past the Weyrerteich with the striking viaduct – after a stretch through a high forest, you can already see the church of Bad Traunstein. At Wachtstein, a wonderful view opens up.
