Region Klimaberg Katschberg

The intact nature on Katschberg cannot be taken for granted, which is why the Region Klimaberg Katschberg project was launched. The ambitious goal behind this is to provide the Katschberg with a neutral CO2 balance by 2030. The Klimaerde, which extracts CO2 from the air and stores it for 1,000 years, is the key to success. Not only nature benefits from the numerous additional measures for climate protection, but also our guests:

  • Raised bed hikes on the trail of the Klimaerde
  • A journey of discovery - flowers and bees
  • Planting trees 
  • Barefoot hiking and forest bathing
  • Car-free vacation with electric bikes, electric trials, segways, ...

The Katschberg is great located. Much is within walking distance. A couple of minutes' walk to the chairlift, which is included in the Katschberg and can therefore be used free of charge. The Cage, a sports hall with trampolines and opportunities to boulder, is even closer, perfect for older children when the weather is not so nice (also included). A super great big playground (Katschhausen) with rabbits to stroke near the mountain railway and many other playgrounds. The Pony Alm is an hour's walk away, where you can groom and ride ponies (also included in the Katschberg Card). You could also go there by horse-drawn carriage, which stops right next to the back entrance of the Katschberg.
