The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Aspangberg-St.Peter

This "Wu" is equivalent to Vááááóóóó, which means a crazy positive surprise because of the view. I don't think it's undeserved.... The view is fantastic, and the trail is similarly great!

The waterfall is wonderfully beautiful, and you don't have to go far from the forest path, about 80m. Be careful on the big stones and roots! Fortunately, we can take excellent photos from the small wooden bridge laid across.

At the forest path, a ford indicates that we are in the right place. From here we can only reach the wonderful waterfall, about 70-80 m away, on foot. The ascent is not easy: stony, rooty, steep, and there is no beaten path. We can take great pictures from a small wooden bridge over the stream. A must-see if you are here!

At the highest pasture of Molzegg, we reach the farm, which also provides meals. The self-service honesty box system is located in the backyard of the house. Payment is by cash. We can sit in the area facing the parking lot, but it is also very spacious inside, with plenty of seating. The service is friendly, and they bring our order to the table.

The large wooden „W“ stands directly on the Hochwechsel and marks the start of the Hochwechsel Trail „The WU“. It serves as a kind of gateway to the mountain bike trail, which leads from here across the alpine pasture in the direction of Marienseer Schwaig. Due to its striking shape, the „W“ is now also a distinctive photo motif directly on the Hochwechsel.

The Wetterkoglerhaus is located directly on the summit of the Hochwechsel at 1,743 meters and is a hut of the Austrian Alpine Club. With good visibility, the hut offers a magnificent panorama over the Wechsel region to Schneeberg, Rax, and Hochschwab. Due to its immediate proximity to the summit cross and chapel, the Wetterkoglerhaus is an ideal resting and refreshment stop at the highest point of the tour.

„The WU“ is an approximately 2.7-kilometer-long singletrail that leads from the Hochwechsel near the Wetterkoglerhaus across the alpine pasture in the direction of Marienseer Schwaig. Over roots, stones, curves, and open alpine meadows, the trail runs through a particularly scenic landscape of the Wechsel region. It is actually designed as a mountain bike trail; therefore, at intersections, special attention must be paid to cyclists and other trail users.

The Dreiländereck lies in a saddle between Arabichl and Umschußriegel and is an important junction in the Wechsel area. Contrary to what the name suggests, three federal states do not meet here; the designation apparently dates back to the confluence of three property boundaries. From here, paths branch off in the direction of Hochwechsel, Marienseer Schwaig, Kranichberger Schwaig, and Steyersberger Schwaig, among others.
