Weather interests everyone! The weather trail also describes the weather phenomena that exist in the world in a hands-on way.
Weather interests everyone! The weather trail also describes the weather phenomena that exist in the world in a hands-on way.
The educational weather trail was created thanks to the great efforts of the Hollenthon village renewal association. Many thanks are due to our local meteorologist Martin Puchegger, who is responsible for the technical textual design of the trail. Information can be found on our own weather trail homepage under Hollenthon weather trail.
Two thirds of the path is asphalted and one third is a gravel path, which is also suitable for baby carriages.
In winter, the path is cleared and can be used. Possibly take a toboggan or bobsleigh with you - you can toboggan or bobsleigh from the Wetterkreuzes towards the village.
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be a completely enjoyable and safe experience. Please note the following:
Preparation
Make sure when selecting your route that it matches your hiking experience and fitness. Check the weather forecast beforehand. Weather in the mountains can change surprisingly quickly. Always start appropriately equipped (e.g., rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return before setting off.

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.
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.
Free parking spaces are sufficiently available at the community park in the town center.
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.

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. (Closed Mon+Tue).
STICKELBERG (about 3 KM from Hollenthon) - Inn “Zum Stickelberg” GANSAUGE-OBERGER (Closed Mon+Tue+Wed)
There is also a great large playground in the town with a big climbing frame and gorilla slide (above the elementary school).
There is also the option to visit the “Fruit Educational Trail”, which describes old fruit varieties along a beautiful path through the town of Hollenthon.
