Hiking in Mönichkirchen am Wechsel

Starting point is Mönichkirchen [getting there] at the bottom station of the chair lift. Take it levitating to the Mönichkirchner Schwaig und ascend along the ski run up to the Hallerhaus.

To reach Niederwechsel you´ll pass the beautiful landmark Steinerne Stiege. Near the destination have a look at the memorial to soldiers of the Second World War.

To get back follow the sloping paths leading gently downwards  to the Vorauer Schwaig and then over the Studentenkreuz again to the Mönichkirchner Schwaig. Attractive options to return to the beginning point are a ride on the First Austrian Scooter Course or the comfort of the chair lift use.

In Gasthaus Enzian, Berggasthof Schwaig, Hallerhaus and Vorauer Schwaig you have the possibility to stop off.

Hiking maps can be obtained either at the bottom station or at the upside exit of the chair lift. Otherwise it´s possible to buy your map at the restaurants or at the local authority.
