On the Wurzeralm, you can explore Alpine history from "2 million years in 2 hours" or gain insights into the Kalkalpen National Park on the "Auf der Alm". In Kirchdorf you are on the trail of "chocolate, coffee and cider" and on the banks of the Enns in Ternberg you can explore the habitat of beavers and waterfowl. And in Bad Hall, the Yolatespfad trail in the spa gardens invites you to get some conscious exercise amidst an incredible variety of trees.
These and many other themed trails await you!
