Sonnwend-Gunst

Hike from Windischgarsten past the Sonnwendkogel and Gunst to Villa Sonnwend and back again!

A street leads past the retirement home to the Kalvarienberg. You will hike along the Salzabach down into the valley, and you will be able to see the beautiful lane lined by chestnut trees, which leads to Villa Sonnwend National Park Lodge, where you can stop for refreshments. In front of the entrance to Villa Sonnwend, the path leads right across a meadow and past the landing field for hang- and paragliders. You will cross a small village, and then the path leads steeply uphill. Now, you will go downhill along a lane lined by fruit trees and can enjoy a view of the valley. From here, you can already see the Kalvarienberg and will return to the starting point.
