Auenweg Niederau

The Auenweg in Niederau is just the right loop if you want to get out into nature without too much effort: only 1 km, easy in 30 minutes, almost flat - and really beautiful. You can take a relaxed stroll along a small stream, take a break on one of the many benches and the kids will love the playground in the middle of the path. Extra nice: the medicinal plant nature trail tells you along the way which herbs grow here - and what they are good for.

Description

The starting point is at the "Wanderbuch" below the Markbachjoch gondola lift in the center of Niederau. Cross the road, past the Hotel Austria and Sonnalp, and immediately after a small bridge, the Auenweg trail branches off to the left.

A pleasant walk along a small stream awaits. There is a playground for the little ones in the middle of the path. There are also plenty of benches along the way to take a break. The path is ideal for families - even with baby carriages.

The healing effects of herbs and plants are widely known, and in the Wildschönau, too, one or two herbs grow to treat all kinds of ailments.

By the way: If you don't want to go back straight away, you can continue to the Foisching snack station (with a great sun terrace, 100 m up to here, a little steeper on asphalt). Just above the snack station, you can observe a herd of red deer in a huge enclosure.
