HWW-Hiking route: St. Ilgen - Kroisbach - Ehrenschachen - Sinnersdorf - Dreiländerstein
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 extensive HWW hiking route leads through the southern Wechselland region on the border with Burgenland. This border, as can be seen at many HWW stations along the HWW route, often had to be defended. The disappearance of Ehrenschachen Castle, which played a key role in securing the border, is described at the Ehrenschachen/Reitererweg HWW station.
