Hiking village – Mönichkirchen am Wechsel

To the south-east of the Wechsel lies the hiking village of Mönichkirchen

Some places in Austria have been awarded the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality as hiking villages. These places provide a special service for hikers because of the infrastructure and their offer.

The certified hiking village of Mönichkirchen is located at an altitude of 1000 metres and impresses all with its extensive hiking infrastructure and network of hiking trails. The natural hiking trails are very easy to reach by public transport via Aspang Markt railway station, and are just under one and a half hours from Vienna. From a walk in the woods to a challenging hiking tour, and all with the stunning air quality of this curative health resort, every hike in Mönichkirchen becomes a relaxing stay.

Indulgence & Adventure

The hiking village is an ideal starting point for long-distance hikes along the Alpannonia hiking trail and the Vienna Alpine Arc. Stopovers are catered for by traditional inns and certified hiking hotels offer overnight guests an all-round service with additional features such as guided hikes and hiking equipment.

Natural attractions

The Hochwechsel, with its highest point at 1735m, is a paradise for summit enthusiasts. The idyllic landscape characterised by Schwaigen, the extensive alpine pastures with their rustic huts, create an unmistakable landscape. Via the Niederwechsel, you will reach an impressive rock formation, the so-called “Steinerne Stiege”.

Action and relaxation for the whole family

The Erlebnisalm Mönichkirchen is a highlight for the whole family and fascinates all with special excursion destinations, such as the Water Park complete with “Salaërium”, the Scooter and Mountain Cart Track, the “Schaukelweg” and much more. Tip: An extraordinary adventure place for young and old is the Hamari Climbing Park.
