The “Weg der Blicke” (Path of glances) is a circular walk starting from the Bad Schönau spa gardens, with beautiful views of the town and the surrounding landscape.
Description
“If you don’t have a destination in mind, you can’t get anywhere”. Short texts and quotations by the Lower Austrian writer Ernst Ferstl encourage the hiker to reflect on the “Weg der Blicke”. Several panels allow the hiker to pause along the 100-minute, easy circular trail and take in the landscape and nature.
Bad Schönau offers numerous hiking opportunities and a suitable hiking map. The “Weg der Blicke” takes you through the Ortbauer and Maierhöfen districts. After the hike, Bad Schönau offers numerous opportunities for refreshments and overnight stays, as well as relaxation in the spa gardens.
