Fortified church Lichtenegg - upper floorPhoto: Wiener Alpen, Christian Kremsl
Earth-fire-air-water surround us as a matter of course. This becomes exemplary and consciously perceptible here by playing in forest soil and quartz sand, by viewing solar collectors as hot water heating and a wind power station for generating electricity. Water is also marveled at as a constant shaper of the landscape. We also see large piles of wood ants and beehives with a "honey school".
4 children's playgrounds along the route and a small stream tempt you to play in the great outdoors without remorse (provided you wear suitable clothing).
In the Maria Schnee pilgrimage church and the fortified church in Lichtenegg, children can complete a puzzle rally in a very entertaining way.
