Next to the church in Auffen, you will find this park. Here you can learn more about your inner self on a sundial embedded in the ground and also experience water applications yourself. Furthermore, the park is also the starting point for the Kneipp movement trail with various stations.

You'll find a nice spot for a break here at the crossroads. Right next to the playground on the edge of the large meadow, there are two table-bench combinations and next to them a beautiful, colorful wayside shrine.

Here you will find the chapel built in 1718 in Auffen. Right next to it is also a Kneipp Park and a few meters up the road is the high Kneipp observation tower. Around the chapel, you also have some resting places.

187 steps to "happiness". But in between, there are also resting places along the way up to catch your breath. The view at the top is really beautiful. Riegersburg, Geschriebenstein, Wechsel... everything is there. And of course, there's also a bench at the very top to take a break. I liked it.

Worth a visit any time of year. Action in summer. Peace and quiet in winter, romance in autumn. Awakening in spring. We always love coming back here.
