HWW-Hiking route: Mönichkirchen - Spital am Hartberg (circular trail)

This HWW hiking route is part of the Wechselland Historical Long-Distance Hiking Trail (HWW), which tells the story of Wechselland along more than 100 HWW stations. More information can be found at www.wechsel-wandern.at.
This HWW hiking route connects the villages of Mönichkirchen, Spital am Hartberg and Tauchen am Wechsel. Along the way you come to the HWW station Mönichkirchen/Schranken. In 2005, the Mönichkirchen village renewal association reconstructed the Soviet Union barrier post at the Mönichkirchen/Schranken HWW station, which existed from 1945 to 1955. The history of the occupation in Wechselland is also described there, as Mönichkirchen was one of the most important border towns.
