Wycieczka

As early as the 15th and 16th centuries, the miners from Öblarn came to Wörschach to be cured by the sulphur water. Scientific studies recognised early on that sulphur water can help with chronic gout and rheumatism and alleviate the symptoms. In 1839, Joseph Rossmann built the Wolkenstein sulphur baths to the north-west of today's Wolkenstein castle ruins. People were able to relax and recuperate there until 1977. Today, the Wörschach-Schwefelbad railway station is still a reminder of the once wonderful spa facilities.

Opis drogi

You start your walk from the Wörschach Ort bus stop. Walk along the village road for about 150 metres in an easterly direction and then turn left onto the gorge path. This path takes you on the right-hand side of the Wörschachbach stream up to the picturesque entrance to the gorge. On the other side of the stream, you will find the Wörschachklamm car park on the Burgweg.

Now continue to the kiosk in the Wörschachklamm gorge. If you turn right from the forecourt, you will come to a wide path that leads you up the eastern slope of the gorge exit. Walk southwards again until you reach a bend. Near here, the path branches off to the Wolkenstein castle ruins. Continue along the wide path, which now leads you back into the valley to the north. Here, you are surrounded by a beautiful mixed beech forest, which provides you with small views time and again. At the fork in the forest path, continue straight ahead. Shortly afterwards, follow the path on the right up to the sulphur spring, which you will reach just a few metres after the fork.

Return along the same path. From the bend below the castle ruins, you can descend directly to the Wörschachklamm car park and walk back to the bus stop from there.

The sulphur springs can also be reached from above via a walk through the Wörschachklamm gorge. A detour to the Wolkenstein castle ruins is also worthwhile.
