Discover Breitenbach in western Styria

Breitenbach in western Styria is a waypoint on the Lannach hiking tour: the route sequence shows the village at kilometre 6.3. The tour is rated moderate and is 15.3 kilometres long. This total distance describes the hike as a whole; the kilometre marker shows where Breitenbach lies along the route. Check current route conditions before setting out and planning your day around the tour.

Hiking through Breitenbach

A section of the Lannach hiking tour passes through the Breitenbach Forest and should be walked while it is still daylight. In the middle of the forest stands the “Hülzerne Kreiz”, a statue of Jesus on the cross. The route therefore combines a specific planning note with a named landmark along the way.

Another route option is the sunrise running tour, which is about 4.5 kilometres long. Compared with the 15.3-kilometre hike, it is much shorter and also a different kind of activity. The two options therefore differ both in distance and in whether you want to hike or run.

Getting to and finding your way on the hiking tour

The nearest train station for the Lannach hiking tour is in Lannach. Check current train connections before planning your journey. You can park for free at the Steinhalle in Lannach for the tour, with no time limit. Check the local parking regulations before setting off.

If you are running late at Anni’s Heuriger, you can call a taxi or walk back to the starting point along Breitenbachstraße. Check the taxi’s current availability and the trail conditions for these options. This keeps travel, parking and the return journey visible as separate planning considerations alongside the route distance.

Bike trails and the pond park

Bike Trail Park Lannach offers around 4.3 kilometres of trails of all difficulty levels in a woodland area of about 46,000 square metres near the railway station. Information boards cover both the routes and rules for conduct in the forest. The trail distance and the size of the woodland describe two different aspects of the park.

Lannach Pond Park is a habitat for many animals and plants and is considered a unique, protected natural gem. It has its own focus areas, including a pond park app, a shrub nature trail and a tree nature trail. Information on exploring nature with groups of children is also available. The Lannach hiking tour also lets you take an additional loop through the pond park.

Castle history and views

Lannach Castle was built by Christof von Galler between 1590 and 1610. Weinzettelberg offers lovely views of the Kainach Valley. Together with the hiking and running routes, bike trails and pond park, these are different themes to consider when planning your stay.
