The Wexl Trails inspire with extensive panoramic trails on the Schwaigen and sweeping, soulful descents into the valley.
The routes through the hilly Wechselland region offer mountain bikers an intense experience of nature and a feeling of freedom that is second to none. You wind your way along forest paths and newly built trails up to the summit of the Hochwechsel at 1,743 m.

An excellent physical condition is required for the Wexl trails, as they include both challenging differences in altitude and considerable distances.

A true paradise for courageous bikers who don't want to miss out on this breathtaking view!

Even for e-mountain bikers, this tour offers an incomparable experience!

 

Opening hours are from May 15 to Nov. 1 from 09:00-19:00! The Styrian Panorama Trails were financed to 60 percent with funds from the federal government, the province of Styria and the European Union, with the remainder being shared between the participating municipalities (Schäffern, Pinggau, Friedberg, Dechantskirchen, St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, Rohrbach an der Lafnitz and Lafnitz).
