It's also easy to reach by public transport - Wildon train station is less than 30 minutes away!

This "summit" is 550m high and slightly hidden away from the hiking trail and easily accessible from Lebring and Wildon (also easy to reach by public transport)!

Humane entrance fees (2-5€ and children up to 8 years are free), which are not collected at one of the 4 entrances, but directly at the place where you are. https://www.wildonamsee.at/

The “Wilder Mann” cave on the Wildoner Schlossberg is a particularly exciting place of power. The cave is located south of the castle where stone age excavations were discovered and was once a place of sacrifice. In the meantime it has become a mystical place for many visitors and is listed on numerous websites and forums about places of power in Styria. The special calm and at the same time energetic atmosphere in the middle of the pitch-dark cave can be felt by those who believe in it.
