Winter hiking and snowshoeing

It all startsat your front door

From the village, paths lead through the forest and out into the snowy Nock Mountains. If you want to go further, strap on snowshoes. For guided tours in the Nock Mountains Biosphere Park, ask at the tourist office in Bad Kleinkirchheim.

Your dog comes along: dogs stay on the lead in the village, and outside it the walks start right behind the house.
