Trails through forests, valleys and ridges

The Untergreithweg offers a particularly special hiking experience. It begins at Josefiplatz in Sankt Johann im Saggautal, crosses the Saggaubach stream and leads through a wooded area along the Habitschegg ridge. This makes the trail appealing to travellers who want to combine their time outdoors with a variety of landscape impressions. Its specific route, with a stream crossing, woodland and ridge, makes it an engaging way to explore the Saggautal on foot.

The Saggautal Trail of the Senses is suitable for families. Several routes and shortcut options allow for different variations. This is particularly useful when children and adults want to spend the day together but do not necessarily want to choose the same distance. You can therefore view your accommodation in Sankt Johann im Saggautal as a starting point for an outing without structuring your stay around just one activity.

Historic impressions in the Saggautal

The Rauchstubenhaus in Gündorf provides an insight into a historic architectural style. Built around 1700, the Thombauernhof is a typical example of an Eastern Alpine Rauchstubenhaus. In 1959, the Rauchstubenhaus was converted into a local heritage museum. After being restored, it reopened in 1983 and was made available for visits. Those interested in rural history and traditional architecture will find a distinctive cultural point of interest here for planning their trip.

The parish church of St John the Baptist is also one of the defining cultural sites of Sankt Johann im Saggautal. Construction began in 1753/54. The high altar was created by Veit Königer in 1765. These two dates place the church within the region’s artistic and architectural history and offer a specific reason to explore the town centre from a cultural-historical perspective. In Untergreith, the Georgiberg Church in Sankt Johann im Saggautal is also worth a visit.

Discoveries for children and culinary breaks

The NAPUKI nature playground offers children an exciting treasure hunt. It complements the trails and cultural attractions with a playful discovery experience. When choosing their holiday apartment, families can therefore consider whether they would prefer to shape their stay around a hike, a treasure hunt or an excursion to historic sites. Different interests can be taken into account when planning the trip, without every day of the holiday having to follow the same pattern.

Buschenschenken and inns offering regional specialities are also part of the character of the Saggautal. After a day of nature or cultural experiences, such places to stop can provide the enjoyable side of the trip. When choosing accommodation, the key consideration is therefore which combination of landscape, excursions, family activities and regional cuisine you would like for your stay.
