Highlight • Structure

A welcome cooling off in the heat. Be careful, it's sometimes poorly lit and every now and then a drop falls from the ceiling ;)

A beautiful, partially ranger-led tour through Austria's only World Heritage site - the Beech Forest World Heritage Site.

First, we walked the Wilderness Trail and then along the former forest railway - now a cycle path.

A strenuous but unique tour
