Route description SONNENTOR Herb Trail

Lively and entertaining, you discover the diversity of herbs from SONNENTOR on the approximately 3.5 kilometer (round trip 7 km), stroller-friendly herb trail between Sprögnitz and Engelbrechts. You start at the SONNENTOR Erlebnis and walk up the street. At the firefighting pond (beach volleyball court), follow the yellow signs through the forest. Along the herb trail, 16 panels present the cultural history of herbal knowledge and the effects of these valuable medicinal plants. They tell stories and myths about the most important native herbs in an engaging and exciting way. In Engelbrechts, you can add a round to the Aubergwarte of about 1.5 kilometers in length. The ascent is lined with numerous dragon figures and a Celtic tree horoscope. 130 steps lead up to the 27.55 meter high observation tower, where you are rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view far beyond the Waldviertel.
