    Hiking

    Wetterkoglerhaus at 1,743 meters at the summit with a weatherproof summit cross and chapel - and the particularly beautiful view.
    Translated by
    The mountain ridge of the Wechsel stretches for over 15 km - the eastern Austrian low mountain range on the border between Lower Austria and Styria 🌲

    Its three most lofty peaks each rise over 1,700 m ⛰️

    Thanks to its mountain landscapes, which range from lovely to challenging, the Wechsel is considered a hiking destination for families on the one hand - and a local recreation area for experienced hikers and climbers on the other 🥾

    The Hochwechsel, as the highest peak, offers particularly worthwhile views: the panoramic view stretches from Semmering and Rax to the Schneeberg 🌄
    Translated by
    The Hochwechsel summit not only offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding landscape of Styria and Lower Austria, but is also known for its picturesque chapel, which invites visitors to reflect and relax 🌄

    Inside, the chapel surprises with colorful paintings, coats of arms and inscriptions that are painted directly onto the wood of the dome and reach all the way to the top ⛪
