The Wildon bathing lake extends over an area of around 9 hectares and lies at the foot of the historic town center. From the lake you have a wonderful view of the picturesque parish church and the lush green of the Wildoner Schlossberg.
It takes around 10 minutes to walk from the Wildon train station to the swimming lake. The Murradweg R2 leads directly past. Sufficient parking spaces are available for guests arriving by car. Mario Hödlmoser and his team take care of the physical well-being.

Ruins and Excavations on Wildon Castle Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

On the Schlossberg Wildon, history can be felt up close and there is so much to discover on the tour; fascinating ruins!

The almost uninterrupted settlement until modern times gives the Wildoner Schlossberg a unique position in the entire southeast Alpine region. In 1978, the prehistorian Diether Kramers became interested in this site and seven years later he started an excavation and conservation project of enormous proportions:

Memorial Cross (1931) on Wildoner Buchkogel

Highlight • Monument

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)!
