Wildwechsel

You are probably familiar with the terms big game and small game. But did you also know that these terms have nothing to do with the size of the animals, but rather with the social rank of the hunters? Big game was once only allowed to be hunted by the "high nobility", while small game was permitted to the common people. What belongs to what you will learn, among other things, on this theme trail. Various stations convey exciting and interesting information about the world of hunting and game management.
During the hike, you will also pass a wildlife crossing. Wildlife crossings are well-trodden paths that are repeatedly used, often over years. They lead from the wildlife shelter to feeding areas and run as a clearly visible line through forests and meadows. Can you see the differences in the tracks? Experienced hunters immediately recognize whether it is a crossing of red deer and roe deer, or a "pass" used by fox, hare, or marten. Perhaps you will also manage to identify one or the other track.
Here you will also learn about the wildlife of the region, its behavior, and its food, as well as different types of wood you find in the forests of southern Burgenland. Numerous interactive stations bring you closer to the topics hunting, game management, and forest habitat. On your next forest walk, you will see your surroundings from a completely new perspective.
