Every year at Christmas, Peter Rosegger walked from the house where he was born to his favorite church in St. Kathrein am Hauenstein for Christmas mass. In his honor, many people still meet on Christmas Eve to walk the Christmetttenwanderung together with torches and lanterns. If you want to learn more about the life of Peter Rosegger, the exhibition next to the parish church is the right place to go - it shows his impressions of his tailor master "Naz" and the village life in St. Kathrein and is an absolute must not only for those interested in culture!
In summer, the region convinces with a variety of hiking offers. In addition to the hiking route "From glacier to wine", which runs over the Hauereck, there are still many tours that inspire young and old.
If you are looking for a destination for your winter vacation, you can't miss the Ski-Waldheimat am Hauereck - a small but nice skiing area with chairlift and magic carpet, lift guesthouse and ski hut - so fun in the snow is guaranteed for young and old!
