Relaxed hiking in Austria’s “Bucklige Welt”

On the way on the Buckln in a paradise of views

Easy hiking trails, comfortable hiking hotels and magnificent views as far as the eye can see: on a hike in the land of 1,000 hills, the hustle and bustle of everyday life will soon be far away.

Hiking is not only something for the body, it is also good for the soul. You can really switch off in the certified hiking hotels and on the easy hiking and pilgrimage trails of Austria’s “Bucklige Welt”. For example, on the path along the Vienna Alpine Arc from Katzelsdorf to Gschaidt, or on the excursion from Bad Schönau to the 896 metre high Hutwisch.

The hike up the highest mountain in the region takes a good two hours, and then another few minutes until you reach the 22-metre-high lookout point at Hutwisch. But for the magnificent view as far as the Schneeberg and Lake Neusiedl, this is only a small price to pay.
