How about the Roman Road and the curious bridge that still stands in Kuchl? I am certain that this 6.5 kilometers-long theme path, known as the “Kuchler Zeitreise”, will keep you and your family enthralled for hours. Better still: It is open both summer and winter. And you can also enjoy it while you push a stroller!

These are the highlights of the “Kuchler Zeitreise” theme path:

Georgenberg, a place of extraordinary power: Already from a distance, you will catch sight of Kuchl’s dominant local mountain, the Georgenberg. Even the ancient Romans treasured this mountain for the power it radiated
Bürgerausee: Swim, splash, enjoy the sunshine – the Bürgerausee in the heart of Kuchl is a summertime gathering spot for water lovers of all ages. That said, this lake is also “pretty as a picture” in autumn and springtime.
Severin Linden Tree: The Romans and Celts both left visible traces of their culture in Kuchl. It is said that Saint Severin of Noricum once preached at the very place where the Severin Linden now stands.
