Hiking in the Biosphere Park

Between 1,050 and 2,500 metres, families, leisurely walkers and seasoned mountaineers all find their paths: over 1,000 kilometres marked, with relaxation loungers and special spots by the water. The trailhead is right by the house. The Alpe-Adria-Trail also passes through Bad Kleinkirchheim – stages 16 and 17 end and begin in the village centre.

Mountain biking

The “Nocken” are round, lush green peaks – ideal for bike tours away from the crowds. Around Bad Kleinkirchheim, alpine paths and forest roads await riders of every level. The Kaiserburg gondola takes you up to the Flow Country Trail, one of the longest flow trails in Europe.

Music & Hiking Weeks

In June, Bad Kleinkirchheim hikes and makes music: musicians play along the way on alpine pastures and in huts – a special start to summer.
