Right near the summer toboggan run, a newly designed experience awaits young and old explorers from spring 2026: The popular themed hiking trail “Ant Trail” has been expanded and now delights with ten additional fun exercise stations, which make the hike even more varied and exciting.
In addition, there is also the new “Ant Bag” – filled with a brand new puzzle book that playfully accompanies children through the adventure on the Ant Trail.
Learning through play.
On the 2.5 kilometers long and freely accessible themed hiking trail, you can learn in 15 stations in an understandable and playful way about the life of ants in the forest: What tasks do they have, who are their neighbors, and how do they build and maintain their kingdom?
At the Gasthof Orthof in St. Corona - where the summer toboggan run winds down the mountain - an extraordinary adventure trail around the small forest dweller begins, estimated to take about 1.5 hours to complete. There is a large parking lot with 2 levels available for you here.
An exciting theme trail for young and old
The themed trail is perfect for children from 3 years old and can also be easily completed with a carrier. The hike is possible with a stroller on the forest path next door, but not necessarily recommended. Families with children as well as school classes can learn a lot of new things about the interesting little creature on a leisurely hike along the ant trail.
Break at the pond
At the highest point of the hiking trail a large relax area at lake with sun loungers, and benches invites you to rest - amidst the beautiful forest nature of Kampstein. Additionally, the Stand-Up-Paddle station offers an action-packed activity. In case of an urgent need to use the restroom, there are toilet facilities at the reservoir. Back at Gasthaus Orthof, hearty delicacies await for refreshment, and those who have been good hikers deserve an ice cream at the Kronaushütte afterwards.
Winter experience on the themed trail
Even in winter, our ant trail is worth a visit and is rewarded with a great view over the Viennese Alps, the southern Viennese Basin, all the way to Burgenland.
Riddle Bag ("Rätselbeutel")
Puzzle Journey (German Version only)
The ant bag contains many useful tools including a (new since spring 2026!) puzzle booklet to explore the theme path in a playful way. The ant bag is available during the opening hours of the Wexl Arena at the main cash desk, as well as at the summer toboggan run or the Gasthof Orthof during its opening hours.
In the puzzle booklet, you will find funny and sometimes tricky questions that invite you to guess and puzzle together.
At the end, a solution word results from the puzzles -> whoever guesses it correctly can pick up a reward at the Wexl Arena cash desk.
