What's it about?

Join us on an exciting journey through time. In Kalkalpen National Park, you constantly come across traces of the past - remnants of buildings, dilapidated tunnels, old iron tools. In Weißwasser, deep in the Hintergebirge, there was a mining settlement where 1,000 people once lived. After a visit to the Knappenhaus Unterlaussa, we will go to the original sites of the mining settlement. Our hike then continues to the World Natural Heritage areas. Here it becomes clear how quickly nature covers human traces.Difficulty: EasyMeeting point: Knappenhaus, 8934 Altenmarkt/St. Gallen, Unterlaussa 13Time & Duration: 09:00 to 13:00, approx. 4 hours (pure walking time approx. 1.5 hours)Ranger: Roman PaumannInfo: With Pyhrn-Priel Card, free participation in fixed datesEquipment: Weatherproof clothing, hiking boots, snack and drinkREGISTRATION AND BOOKING
