Lizard carving

Highlight • Structure

Carved directly into a tree trunk, a close-up view reveals a detailed lizard – a small, hand-carved work of art in the middle of the forest. The figure nestles naturally into the bark and appears almost alive. A lovingly designed, almost hidden spot along the path that charmingly combines nature and creativity. Ideal for a short break with a photo opportunity!

Johannesbach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Johannesbachklamm is a popular excursion destination on the western edge of Würflach and only an hour from Vienna. On the way through the gorge, which is just over a kilometer long, visitors experience a small natural paradise that is pleasantly cool even on hot days. And if you look closely, you can see from the rock walls that are up to 60 meters deep how the Johannesbach has dug itself into the Wetterstein limestone over thousands of years.

With a walking time of 30 minutes, the excursion is particularly great for families with children. This is also due to the many stairs and bridges that make the path so entertaining. If you want, you can leave the wooden footbridge in some places and cool your feet in the Johannesbachbach. You can also take a good rest at the KlammWirtin at the entrance to the gorge.

By the way: If you like to walk for longer, you can turn the walk through the Johannesbachklamm into a hike. Or you can admire the "largest decorated Christmas tree in Austria" in the Johannesbachklamm during Advent.

Heahnakräuln Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Heahnakräuln is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the nature park surrounding Ternitz. After the steep climb up the Hühnersteig, a comfortable bench invites you to rest and enjoy the magnificent view of the Gfieder, Kampstein, Hochwechsel, Sonnwendstein, and many other peaks. This is a wonderful place to unwind and recharge your batteries. A truly peaceful spot to linger – quiet, with great views, and highly recommended by hikers.
