Hiking, running and bike trails

The Lannach Hiking Tour is a moderately difficult hike covering 15.3 km. It leads through Breitenbach Forest and passes the “Hülzerne Kreiz”, a statue of Jesus on the cross. The route length makes the tour a clearly defined day itinerary that you can take into account when planning your trip. The nearest railway station to the Lannach Hiking Tour is in Lannach. There is also a free car park with no time limit at the Steinhalle in Lannach.

If you are looking for a shorter sporting route, you can include the Sunrise Running Tour, which is approximately 4.5 km long, in your plans. Another option is the Lannach Bike Trail Park. Across a forest area measuring approximately 46,000 m² in total, there are around 4.3 km of trails of all difficulty levels. The park is located near the railway station. Information boards there explain the routes and rules of conduct in the forest. This allows you to consider your preferred activity as an important part of your trip when choosing your accommodation, without making every day the same.

Discover nature and explore the area with children

Teichpark Lannach offers various focuses for observing nature and learning. Its facilities include a Teichpark app, a shrub nature trail and a tree nature trail. There is also information on exploring nature with groups of children. Many animals and plants use the Teichpark as a habitat; it is described as a “unique natural gem”. If you are travelling with children, this natural area can be planned as a separate programme item alongside a hike or a sporting route.

The activities differ considerably: while the Lannach Hiking Tour is a 15.3 km moderately difficult route through Breitenbach Forest, the Sunrise Running Tour covers approximately 4.5 km. With trails of all difficulty levels, the Bike Trail Park caters to different riding abilities. These differences help you make your trip varied and pay attention to the desired mix of active and nature-oriented days when looking for accommodation.

Culture and regional tradition

Cultural destinations also complement the nature experiences. Lannach Castle was built by Christof von Galler between 1590 and 1610. May devotions and the Easter blessing of meat take place in the Chapel of St. Mary in Sajach. Alongside hiking trails and educational nature trails, this means that historic architecture and religious traditions are also available as potential travel interests. You can include these themes independently in your plans and tailor your stay to your preferred focus.
