In pursuit of pleasure
If love is in the air, the “Herzspur” themed trail in Bad Gleichenberg is the trail for you, with 12 stations all focusing on relationships. Highlights include a “love swing”, a labyrinth where you can help stop each other “going astray”, a “Herzlplatz” (heart-shaped square) by a lime tree chapel, and a heavenly “grazing garden”. The approximately three-hour hike begins in Bad Gleichenberg, meanders through the historical spa gardens, and then along the avenue of pagoda trees on the Rudorfkogel.
A good tip for foodie hikers is the Bad Blumauer “Schmankerlwanderung” (“Delicacy Trail”), which offers plenty to see, hear and of course taste.
The hiking network “Auf den Spuren der Vulkane” (“Chasing Volcanoes”) introduces guests to various different areas of the Thermen- & Vulkanland; the routes can be divided into day stages, each bewitching travellers with scenic wonders such as viewing points, idyllic chapels, romantic fountains and geomantic spots. The culinary factories dotted along the routes spotlight the region’s specialities, and together form a holistic network of delights that touches our heart and soul, and lifts our mood, a feeling that accompanies us every step of the way.
