What is special about guided hikes? The gentle, steady movement during the hikes focuses our attention on the immediate surroundings and shows us the treasures that are waiting for us right outside our front door. Movement in nature strengthens our immune system, invigorates muscles, organs and circulation, and activates our brain. Each of the 8 hiking trails is accompanied by a person from the project team who knows the trail and knows about the special features along the way and in the surrounding area. The conversations in the hiking group are an additional enrichment for everyone, according to the motto: "LIVING TOGETHER IN DIVERSITY!"

The Höchkogelweg is a leisurely sunny hike at the foot of the Gleichenberger Kogel. It is signposted throughout (Vulkanlandweg No. 19). The small loop through Gossendorf is suitable for people who want to admire the gentle hilly landscape between the Gleichenberger Kogeln and the Raab Valley. You hike leisurely along side roads with little traffic and field paths. There are several rest stops along the way.
