Uttendorf/Weißsee: Butterfly Educational Trail

After the first information board, you cross a dry slope where a warmth-loving flora and insect world can be admired. On this meadow, children and parents can observe the colorful butterflies - for example Apollo, Mourning Cloak, or Swallowtail. The butterfly trail continues over wooden stairs to the shady Steinergraben. Seating areas invite you to linger and enjoy nature here.

Then you hike through the marshy alder grove, botanically distinguished by rare mosses and ferns. You pass the Devil's Stones, glacial erratics from the Ice Age. The last part of the hike leads past the forest edge and meadow orchards until, after an elevation change of 300 m, you reach the endpoint, the Alpengasthof Liebenberg. On the return, you can either take the same route or the paved Sonnbergstraße.

You can take the Öbb bus (Bus 670) directly to the village and walk about 2 minutes to the tourist office, which is the starting point of the hike.

The train (R 3310) stops a bit further down, but you are still within a very short time at the starting point of the hike.

Read the 13 display panels carefully.

A detour to the Celtic village at Steinerbichl, an archaeological site of supra-regional importance, is also recommended.
