On a circular path of about 4.5 kilometers through the hilly surroundings, the viewer will find a variety of sculptures and art objects.
The hub for artists and connoisseurs of all kinds is the Malerwinkl in Hatzendorf. The hotel and restaurant with artistic ambience - sculptures in the park, paintings throughout the house - and the artists' rooms are the refuge of Peter Troißinger Senior, himself a creative artist. Peter Troißinger changed everything into a place of creativity. Let in light and ideas.
The creation of the art panorama path in Hatzendorf originates from the idea of Peter Troißinger Senior. Since 2009, 15 works of modern art now enrich the rural cultural area in a sequence worth experiencing: larger-than-life sculptures - formed from wood, steel and iron - line the "Art Panorama Path" leading from the Grazbach Valley over the Bohnerberg.
The focus is on the art objects, which are placed so that they can be grasped. On the ridge framed by 360-degree panoramas, the sentence, broken down into syllables, "The world is beautiful," is convincing. And how!
You can arrive by public transport. It is also possible to arrive by car via the A2 Südautobahn. Freeway exit: Ilz/Fürstenfeld or Gleisdorf-West.
Detailed information on how to get here can be found here.
From Gasthof Malerwinkl we go uphill to the Kunsthochsitz. Let's enjoy art and the magnificent panorama: along the ridge we have a magnificent view of Hatzendorf. We continue through the forest to Unterhatzendorf, where an optical disc transforms the senses. Let's quietly turn the disc clockwise and counterclockwise. We continue to the rest area Hühnergeflüster and to the Steckeisenblume. The path now leads along meadows and fields, past the apple square back to Hatzendorf, where the sculpture Embrace awaits. Finally, the world garden at the train station awaits.
The restaurant and art hotel Malerwinkl in Hatzendorf offers the perfect end to the round. Let yourself be seduced by the artist and chef Peter Troißinger himself!
