On the Historic Long Distance Trail Wechselland, the history of the Wechselland region is made accessible on contemporary and innovatively designed display boards at more than 100 HWW stations.

This HWW station is part of the Wechselland Historical Long-Distance Hiking Trail (HWW). More information can be found at www.wechsel-wandern.at. Each HWW station is dedicated to a chapter from the history of Wechselland.

Topic: Occupation 1945-1955

The history of the occupation is told at this station, as Mönichkirchen was the most important border post between the occupying powers during the occupation (1945-1955). A new barrier was erected in 2005 to commemorate this time.

Location of the HWW station:

Along the main road next to the building Mönichkirchen No. 176 at the barrier including the barrier house.
