In addition to the beautiful natural surroundings along the Kempbach, there are also opportunities to get some exercise. Eight motor skills stations offer a variety of exercises that invite you to work up a sweat. **Quality of experience:** ***** **Recommended season:** - January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December **Properties:** - Loop - Refreshment stops available - Family friendly - Cultural/historical value - Geological highlights - Healthy climate **Description:** The Kneipp Trail combines nature, exercise, and health. The trail starts in the town center; from there, it heads down Villa Böckweg, passes the police dog training school (formerly the cold-water spa) on the left, and follows the Schönfichten farm road. The Kneipp Trail begins just before the second bridge on the left; after a short walk, you’ll reach the “Kasmühle,” which you’ll bypass by taking a brief detour along the farm road. After that, the first motor skills station awaits to help you “warm up.” The trail follows the Kembbach upstream to the romantic waterfall, where the “Linzer Bäder” (Linz Baths) of the cold-water sanatorium once stood. Along the way to the forest prayer site, another 7 motor skills stations invite you to work up a sweat, and a natural Kneipp pool invites you to tread water. At the forest prayer site stands a beautiful wooden cross; here you can enjoy absolute tranquility before heading up the hill. Afterward, an idyllic forest trail leads over the Kricklberg down to the “Bründl,” where you can take an arm bath. The loop trail then leads back to the village via the bathhouses.**Tip:** The Kneipp Trail is a special path because it’s a place where you can truly recharge your spirit. As you continue your hike from the roaring water toward the Forest Devotional, you can literally “hear” the silence at the transition—it’s pure goosebumps. At the forest prayer site, a break is highly recommended to enjoy the crisp forest air and the tranquility. Tip: Another special “spot” along the trail: As you hike down from the Kricklberg, there’s a detour arrow in the clearing pointing toward “BaumkreisPlatzerl”. Be sure to follow this arrow! After just a few steps, you’ll reach the former “Kricklberger Gut,” of which only a small section of the walls remains visible. At this special place of power, you’ll find three of the trees of life from the Bad Kreuzner Baumkreis, complete with information signs—it’s well worth the visit! And for fitness enthusiasts, of course, we recommend incorporating the physical exercises from the “Fit&Fun Trail” into your run—it’s an absolute power workout! **Safety guidelines:** In principle, the Kneipp Trail is open for hiking year-round; however, we ask that you exercise extra caution in winter, as some icy spots are to be expected.**Equipment:** Hiking backpack (including rain cover), sturdy shoes**Additional information:** [www.badkreuzner-baumkreis.at/](http://www.badkreuzner-baumkreis.at/) [www.gasthof-schiefer.at/](http://www.gasthof-schiefer.at/) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4362 Bad Kreuzen **Destination:** 4362 Bad Kreuzen **duration:** 1h 15m **length:** 4,2 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 158m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 160m **Lowest point:** 394m **Highest point:** 505m **difficulty:** easy **condition:** easy **panoramic view:** Dreamtour **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Other **Starting point:** Bad Kreuzen Municipal Office **Destination:** Bad Kreuzen Municipal Office **further information:** - culturally interesting - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Bad Kreuzen Kneipp Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008148&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Bad Kreuzen Kneipp Trail](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008148&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Bad Kreuzen Kneipp Trail") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- [ View copyright © Urheber: Burg Kreuzen Betriebs GmbH Close copyright ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/106811/ED713EC77AD47AA4C57410BE271B39CDF709C215066EC2FCCFDC5393AF146F7C/burghof-winter.jpg "Burghof Winter (© Urheber: Burg Kreuzen Betriebs GmbH)") Burg Kreuzen - Schatz.Kammer ](https://www.hornerakusko.sk/en/oesterreich-unterkunft/detail/101635/burg-kreuzen-schatz-kammer.html) ![Foto Haus mit Chef Leute](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/462960/D332448A56E9A98D6EA91315FE98AE32B303C9F99100ADAD6AE3D73343B950CC/foto-haus-mit-chef-leute.jpg "Foto Haus mit Chef Leute") Gasthof "Zur Zugbrücke" Due to the large newly built event and dining room, we are also particularly suitable for company celebrations, seminars of all kinds, bus and group tours and other large events.
