Forest nature trail

Open
This beautiful hiking and walking trail leads you mainly through the beautiful collegiate forests.
The forest nature trail is an approx. 3.5 km long hiking and walking path that leads you from the Vorau collegiate church down to the Brühl, where we cross a small stream that is very suitable for cooling off in the summer.
