Wilderness hiking for women (2 days)
On the road on lonely paths
Sat 27 - Sun 28 June 2026
Two days in the middle of the untouched nature of the national park - for women only. Under the safe guidance of two experienced female rangers, you will immerse yourself in Austria's largest forest wilderness. Together we hike along old, almost forgotten paths or wander through the forest without a trail. Animal tracks, fascinating habitats and the impressive nature in the national park accompany us.
Embark on the wilderness experiment. Find out what it means for you and for society. In the evening, a crackling campfire awaits you. Cooking together, laughing and strengthening the community - a special time to feel the connection to nature and to yourself. After a restful night's sleep and an enjoyable breakfast, you return home enriched by a "wild" experience.
Experience this extraordinary break from everyday life and find yourself - in harmony with nature and in the special community of women.
This is what awaits you:
- Wilderness hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site: Experience an unforgettable hike on little-used paths or even pathless and feel the ancient connection to wild nature. Good physical condition required for approx. 5-6 hour hike (11 km) with 550 m ascent!
- Nature with all your senses: With mindfulness and perception exercises, we invite you to experience nature with all your senses and find inner peace. Immerse yourself in the beauty of pristine forests, experience the silence of nature at night and feel the freedom of untouched nature.
- Tracks of forest dwellers: Discover the secret tracks of forest dwellers, get to know rare plants and wild herbs and experience how alive dead wood is.
- Wild cuisine around the campfire: Together we prepare our dinner around the campfire and let nature inspire us to make culinary discoveries.
- Enjoyable finale: We conclude our wilderness adventure with a good meal at the Villa Sonnwend National Park Lodge.
