On the Hödlmoser trail

Follow in the footsteps of Mr. Hödlmoser on a short hike to the Stoxreiter cider tavern in the Murtal adventure region. The life and doings of Mr. Hödlmoser are explained on the basis of display boards.

With a lot of love, the display boards were erected by a project class of the HLW-Fohnsdorf in the adventure region Murtal a few years ago. The small Barbara Chapel in front of the Hödlmoserhof was inaugurated in 2013. This great, short hike is also an experience with children and you can then enjoy yourself at the Mostschenke Stoxreiter.
