Three stages of the Alpe-Adria Trail – from the Erlacherhaus via the Falkerthaus and the Lärchenhütte to Bad Kleinkirchheim and on to Arriach – lead directly into the Nockberge Biosphere Park via Bad Kleinkirchheim, and were officially opened in autumn 2012.

“Berggenießer” hosts

Inspired by the opening of the Alpe-Adria-Trail in the Nockberge Mountains, and wanting to increase the attractiveness of Bad Kleinkirchheim as a hiking destination, in 2013 a total of 13 establishments, including the Trattlers Hof-Chalets, joined forces as experts on hiking in the Nockberge Mountains. The “Berggenießer” hosts will ensure the success of your hiking holiday in Bad Kleinkirchheim with their expert knowledge and the best service. They have created detailed descriptions of 12 routes around the Alpe-Adria-Trail including personal tips on things such as chalet cuisine and special places.

nock/art – a hikeable art project

nock/art, the “hikeable” art project in Bad Kleinkirchheim, is more than just art on the mountain: over the next few weeks six varied hiking trails will highlight the special features of the cultural landscape by means of a small number of focused art interventions. These will not be major interventions into the natural or cultural space, but instead local materials will be worked into very direct and appealing designs.Read more about .
