Hiking tour Starting from Sconarium
The main path in the spa gardens is asphalted. A small path runs on gravel next to the stream. The park is lined with fragrant islands of flowers, shady trees, a babbling brook and quacking ducks in the pond. Along the path, there are books and benches telling stories from the 1000 hills. At the end of the spa park there is a playground for younger guests. Spa concerts are also held in the park in summer.

We want your hikes in the Vienna Alps to be an enjoyable and safe experience in every way. Therefore, please note the following:
Preparation
When choosing a route, make sure it matches your mountaineering experience and physical fitness. Check the weather forecast in advance. The weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Therefore, always set out with the appropriate gear (e.g., rain gear).
Always bring appropriate maps with you. Wear sturdy shoes suitable for the hike, and bring sun and rain protection, as well as water and a light snack. Bring your cell phone and save the emergency numbers for emergency services: Emergency Services 144 / Mountain Rescue 140
There are plenty of parking spaces in front of the entrance to the spa park. From there, the path leads to the right, past the Sconarium, into the spa park, where you can enjoy a relaxing stroll.
The path is flat and paved. An accessible restroom is available, for example, at the start and end of the tour at the Sconarium (please note the opening hours). There is a public restroom in the spa gardens.
There are plenty of free parking spaces available around the municipal office and the Sconarium.
