Mountaineering Village Johnsbach<\/h2>\n
\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Gentle alpine meadows, rugged rock, enjoyable hikes, racy climbing tours: the Ges\u00e4use around Johnsbach stands for a varied mountain vacation. \"University of mountaineering\", that's what the Ges\u00e4use has been called for almost a hundred years and has a name in the climbing scene that reaches far beyond the borders of Austria.<\/p>\n

For those who don't want to go vertical in the Gesaeuse, the Gesaeuse National Park offers a diverse programme; rafting and mountain biking are just as much a part of the leisure sports as snowshoe hikes and ski tours. A visit to the Odelstein Cave does not take you along planked paths into illuminated halls, but equipped like cave explorers, you go into the underworld of Johnsbach. And at night? In Johnsbach you don't look at the television, but at the sky! Johnsbach is widely known as THE hotspot for stargazing. Due to the great distance to the metropolises, the darkest night sky ever measured in a locality in Austria is recorded here. So it's no surprise that in Johnsbach the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye! More information about the starry sky in Johnsbach here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
