Guided Story

Do you hear the gentle ripple of water? That's the Würmkanal, flowing through the landscape since 1690. Look to your left, where the canal winds gracefully through the greenery. Imagine horses and carts once traveled alongside it, carrying goods along this vital waterway. This engineering marvel was one of the main arteries of transport back in the day. Behind you, the horizon is marked by the Schwarzhölzl, and not far from here is the Feldmochinger See, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The canal is a testament to how humans have elegantly harnessed nature to create infrastructure that still captivates us today.
