Description

The weather educational trail was created with great commitment by the Hollenthon village renewal association. Great thanks go to our local meteorologist Martin Puchegger, who is responsible for the professional textual design of the path. Information is available on the dedicated weather educational trail homepage under Weather Educational Trail Hollenthon.

The path is paved for 2/3, and 1/3 of the path is a gravel path, which is also easily accessible with a stroller.

In winter, the path is cleared and can be walked. Possibly take sleds or toboggans – you can sled or toboggan towards the town from the weather crosses.

Equipment Always take suitable maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes appropriate for the route, bring sun and rain protection as well as water and a snack. Take your mobile phone and save the emergency number for mountain rescue: 140.
Route description From the starting board in the middle of the community park, the path leads towards the Raiffeisenbank. Opposite the residential building is the second weather board. Then the gently ascending path runs along the ridge above Hollenthon to the widely visible weather crosses. From here, there is a great view of the town and the entire surrounding area. This view can also be previewed via three weather cameras from Hollenthon. The path continues past the Hollenthon weather station, whose weather data can be accessed. Afterwards, it goes downhill back to the town. Upon reaching the main street, turn left and go to the final board opposite the Posch inn.
Parking Free parking spaces are sufficiently available at the community park in the town center.
Getting there Coming from the A2, take the Lanzenkirchen exit. Then you go via Lanzenkirchen, Schleinz up to the “Fernblick” – wonderful view of Rax, Schneeberg and Hohe Wand – continue via Hochwolkersdorf and Wiesmath to Hollenthon.

Editor’s tip A visit to the baroque furnished parish church is recommended. The church, once built as a fortified church, is known for its statues on the pulpit. If locked, please collect the key from the parish yard (large cube-shaped building above the church). During this, you can also sample the “high-spirited” fine brandies of our parish priest. At the end of the weather educational trail route, we recommend the POSCH inn for refreshment.
