Nature Hiking

• Water Hiking Trail
  Hike the trails of the “Tyrolean Sauerbrunn Spring”, where exciting stop-offs explain the meaning and different uses of the water. The Water Hiking Trail has been given new life with the addition of exciting attractions by the two artists Manfred Hellweger and Sandra Brugger. The ancient legends of Ladis already told of the mystical significance of water. Hear the melody of the water which adapts precisely to the mood of the listener. Depending on how you feel, it can sound happy, placid or even sad. The stream flowing past is the accompanying orchestra with the millions of falling water droplets as its musicians. The trail continues to the Sulphur Spring, which gets it red colour not from sulphur, but rather from a high content of iron, giving it a distinctive smell. The Sauerbrunn Spring is located at the end of the trail. Even today, water from the “Tyrolean Sauerbrunn" is used to treat diseases of the kidneys, liver, intestine, stomach, as well as respiratory congestion, asthma, etc. The water is available to buy in bottles and can also be tasted on site at the spring.

• Wild Herbs Trail
  Green smoothies instead of energy drinks. Daisies instead of antidepressants. Yarrow instead of Viagra. Nature provides us with heaps of wild herbs that can not only compete with the pharmaceutical industry in terms of their impact, but also represent a much healthier alternative to pills, capsules etc. The way to the pharmacy is not always the only right one. Sometimes a walk into the native forests and meadows can also help. The Wild Herbs Trail is a narrow trail featuring different stop-offs explaining the properties and processing methods of wild herbs.
