Discover Weißenbach an der Enns

When choosing Weißenbach an der Enns as a travel destination, nature, outdoor activities and local history can each be a focus. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, you can start planning by considering which of these topics matter to you. The Zinkgraben is known for its gorge forest, the Große Billbach stream and geological formations; the trails vary in activity type and route. There is also a climbing wall and historical points of interest. This gives you several specific starting points for planning your trip.

Nature in the Zinkgraben

The Zinkgraben offers nature experiences in a gorge forest along the Große Billbach stream. Geologically interesting conglomerate outcrops and landslides add to the natural features. The Auszeitsteig trail can be walked year-round when weather conditions are suitable; check both the weather and trail conditions before setting out. An exploration tour in the Zinkgraben can begin in the Weißenbach an der Enns district at the Eisenwurzenhalle. The information board near the Eisenwurzenhalle is a possible starting point for the “Natur auf der Spur” nature rally. The trail, exploration tour and rally offer different ways to engage with nature and the surrounding area.

Trails and circular routes

The Eisenwurzenweg 08 begins in Weißenbach an der Enns in the Eisenwurzen Nature Park. The 10 km Milchstraßenrunde is a running route: it goes through the Zinkgraben and uphill to Weißenbach an der Enns, then returns to Sankt Gallen via the Milchstraße. The Buchsteinrunde, by contrast, starts in Sankt Gallen, leads first to Weißenbach and then via Wolfsbachau to the Pflegeralm and Erbsattel. For orientation, compare the routes: the Eisenwurzenweg 08 begins in Weißenbach, while the Buchsteinrunde reaches it only after starting in Sankt Gallen. The Milchstraßenrunde also passes through Weißenbach, but is a different option as a 10 km running route. Check the route conditions before setting out.

Cycling route and climbing wall

The Bussi-Baba-Tour is not signposted and should be ridden using the GPX track. Check the GPX files and route conditions before departure. The Bussi Baba gravel and mountain bike tour offers your first views of Buchstein, whose summit is 2,224 metres high. The climbing wall offers a different focus: it is located in Weißenbach an der Enns, past the turn-off to the railway station. Check the current conditions at the climbing wall before visiting.

Culture and local history

The Weißenbach an der Enns Workers’ Band was founded in 1890. A granary in Weißenbach an der Enns dates from the 17th century. The former granary at Weißenbach an der Enns 57 is listed in the monument protection ordinance for the political district of Liezen. The history of music and historic buildings thus add further perspectives on Weißenbach an der Enns alongside its nature and routes.
