Nockberge Trail long-distance hiking trail
A dreamland for hikers now has a long-distance hiking trail: The Nockberge Trail through the UNESCO biosphere park of the same name ©Region Nockberge/Gerdl
“Green islands in the stony sea” – that is the apt title of an ORF Universum® production that portrays the UNESCO Biosphere Park Nockberge. Because Austria’s oldest landscape with its gentle green ridges resembles the Highlands in Scotland more than the rugged neighbors of the Hohe Tauern or Karawanken. And one of the most enchanting long-distance hiking trails in Austria, the new Nockberge Trail, runs right through the middle of this green island. In five moderate daily stages, starting from the Katschberg in the north and ending in the south in the famous spa town of Bad Kleinkirchheim with its Roman thermal baths, this multi-day hike roams through a natural paradise of idyllic alpine pastures, shady pine forests and summits with great views.
The hike on the Nockberge Trail: a statement against the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced world ©Bookyourtrail.com
It is precisely the hike from one peak to the next (about 20 peaks are “collected”) that makes the Nockberge Trail so unique with a great combination: gentle mountains, a breathtaking alpine panorama and summit hikes, which is also suitable for alpine beginners.
Another special feature of the Nockberge Trail is the combination of an unforgettable experience of nature and surprising comfort in the stage locations. Overnight stays on the Nockberge Trail are in selected partner hotels on the Katschberg, in Innerkrems, on the Turracherhöhe, the Falkerthöhe and in Bad Kleinkirchheim, of course. On request with regional Carinthian cuisine and relaxing wellness! The Neue Bonner Hütte is an exception that is as rustic as it is charming. Hiking with luggage transport, the practical return transfer and the trail hotline if something should go wrong round off the unique Bookyourtrail.com service on the Nockberge Trail too. So nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable hiking experience in the natural paradise of the UNESCO Biosphere Park Nockberge! It is precisely the hike from one peak to the next (around 20 peaks are “collected”) that makes the Nockberge Trail so unique with a great combination: gentle mountains, a breathtaking Alpine panorama and summit hikes that are also suitable for alpine beginners.< /p>
