Great rest area and from here you can extend your tour in all directions but beware at the moment are very many roads with mountains of wood downright blocked!

Austria's Longest Bench

Highlight • Monument

11/19/2020 - As you can see in my photos, the sun also comes to the longest bench in Austria, so it is also the longest tanning bed (solarium), the idea is simply brilliant, as a local tells me: something special here every year Installed - whatever fits into the landscape!

The eighth wonder of the world? Well, this is a very special place! Right at the start of the Bründlweg trail, a six-meter-deep pond awaits the brave. A 40-meter-long footbridge spans the shimmering water, and not just any old way! You can wade in up to your calves and still reach the other side with a steady step. The railing ensures you don't fall into the chilly water, and the stepping stones help you cross safely.

But if things get a bit tiring, there's a cozy rest area in the middle. There you can sit and look directly at the famous Steirereck inn – a real treat for the eyes and the soul. And when you finally reach the other side, a hut even awaits you to dry your feet. You can look back with pride on your underwater-above-water walk and think to yourself – this kind of experience is truly out of the ordinary! You can definitely say that this is a real taste of Styrian joie de vivre.
