From the UNESCO World Heritage site of Semmering or the high-altitude health resort of Fischbach to the edge of the Pannonian plain near Köszeg, a path full of variety and attractions of nature leads: alpannonia®.
Or you can start the alpannonia trail in the fairytale village of Wenigzell. From there, the "power trail" continues to the neighboring community of St. Jakob im Walde. Across the hilly landscape, the trail then continues to the Hochwechsel. From there you can then join the main alpannonia trail.
Popis
The "Kraftpfad" connects the two communities of Wenigzell and St. Jakob im Walde. Along the way, 15 stations tell you everything about the sources of power that make us who we are, and at the same time you walk through 15 billion years of evolutionary history. In St. Jakob im Walde there is the exhibition center Kräftereich and the blooming Europapark. Wenigzell is known for the Joglland Oasis and the 1st Barefoot Park in Austria. Both communities also belong to the Styrian Flower Road.
After reaching the community of St. Jakob im Walde, you hike around the 1111m high Arzberg and then reach the Rabl-Kreuz Hütte. Via the Kaltwiesenhütte or the Hochwechselstraße you reach the summit of the 1743m high Hochwechsel after about 2 1/2 more hours.

Tip autora
The hike along the Alpannonia feeder road from Wenigzell to the Hochwechsel is a true hike to recharge your batteries: First you hike from Wenigzell along the Kraftpfad to St. Jakob im Walde, there you can visit the Kräftereich exhibition and then you continue on to the Hochwechsel. The innkeepers in the villages also invite you to a little refreshment.
