The Rosalia circular hiking route connects the thermal spa communities (Katzelsdorf, Lanzenkirchen, Walpersbach, Bad Erlach, and Pitten) with Wiener Neustadt. In addition, all starting points are excellently accessible by public transport.
Description
Deceleration is the order of the day; the hike in the Rosalia mountains offers plenty of variety and many answers to the question of why it is also called the "land for connoisseurs".
The route can be completed in one, two, three, or more days depending on interests and physical constitution and is signposted in both directions. Due to the many gastronomy and accommodation businesses, various route variants are possible.
An attraction just a few steps from the Rosalia circular hiking trail is the 15-meter-high viewing tower Lanzenkirchen/Wiesen, which offers a breathtaking view over the Bucklige Welt and the nearby Alps. There are also other viewpoints, various museums, and nature experiences.
