Brief description

Small village route through Unternberg, a district of St. Corona, accessible year-round and charming with the appeal of the winter landscape.

Description

The village route through Unternberg, a district of St. Corona, is suitable year-round for pleasant walks and is also ideal for winter hikes. The starting point of the hike is the valley station of the Wexlarena, near the Gruber-List holiday home, which is also ideal for romantic overnight stays. While children practice their first snow exercises at the winter sports school, parents can explore the surroundings on this beautiful path. The route runs on cleared roads over the chapel to the field shelter and a bit up to the so-called Sonnenplatzl and back into the village. This hike can be comfortably completed in just over half an hour. Along the way, there is also the possibility to stop at the Wexl Lounge. Additionally, you will pass many farms that offer stays for the next "holiday on the farm," such as the Ofnerhof or the Dissauer farm.
