Description

The “Happy Track” starts at the public car park next to the community hall in the centre of Wenns. You will wak past historic buildings through Wenns for the first few metres to Hotel Pitztaler Hof. From there, head north and follow the signs to the “Talwanderweg”. Shortly after a small playground there is a junction, continue uphill in the direction of “Langenau”. The actual “Happy Track” starts there. There are three interactive stations focusing on the subject of “self-esteem”. Old thought patterns are questioned, inner strengths are brought to the fore and affirmations are used to show ways in which to gain confidence. At the end of the “Happy Track” there is visitor’s or “pathways book” which gives inspiration for the following day and you can also leave messages for others. Once you arrive at the small chapel in Steinhof, follow the signs again in the direction of the “Talwanderweg” to Wenns. The entire loop is almost six kilometers long and is manageable with an all-terrain pushchair.
