    The Wienerwald Planet Trail is a hike around Königstetten and attempts to show the dimensions... Our solar system on a scale of 1:1.4 billion.
    Space adventure! The proportions are unimaginable! The distances are unbelievable! The infinite distances of space can only be seen on the scale of the planet trail! You have to "feel" these vastnesses on the planet trail in order to be able to understand them. Our solar system on a scale of 1:1.4 billion. Our sun is orbited by 9 planets. One of them is the earth. Together with the moons, which in turn orbit the planets, the planetoids and the comets, they form the solar system. Since the sizes and distances are unimaginably large, this planet trail was created to illustrate this! A cycle path from Königstetten to the Danube in Muckendorf and the hiking trail that leads over the Tulbingerkogel to the Passauerhof or over Hainbuch over the "Hanging Stone", a geological attraction in this area, to the Hagenbachklamm. The reduction shows the relationships between distances and diameters on the correct scale. The church of Königstetten as a central reference point (position of the sun) shows the enormous distances between many planets!

      Even if you don't have much time, the Tulbinger Kogel planet trail goes out in the late afternoon. If you have more time, you can expand the path as you like.
