Kneipp water treading

If you feel like it, you can do a quick Kneipp therapy session during the hike - in summer it is certainly refreshing to sit in the stream.

October 20, 2024,Herbstliche Aisttal-Wanderung um Schwertberg

It was the last of the four Radio OÖ "Lust auf's Wandern" tours.

On this tour with its very varied landscape, we were accompanied not only by the beautiful autumn weather 🍁 but also by our state governor Thomas Stelzer ☺️

From Schwertberg via Windegg Castle, we made our way step by step over gentle hills and forests.
