KniePASS adventure trail on Fort Kniepass

logo

Discover boundless experiences in the Salzburger Saalachtal

In the 14th century, Fort Kniepass was a border post on the route between Austria and Germany. And even today, the theme of borders still characterizes this place. Not least for this reason, the KniePASS adventure trail, which leads from the valley up to the fortifications of Fort Kniepass, deals with the topic of "borders".

KneePASS adventure trail:

Get closer to your limits step by step

The interactive adventure trail at Fort Kniepass appeals to all the senses and takes you on an exciting journey of discovery across all borders. Equipped with the accompanying "KniePASS" booklet, you walk through twelve stations on the ascent to the fortification and in buildings within the fortification. At these stations, the various types of borders are discussed and you have the opportunity to come to terms with your own borders. There is a special game for children, where they can collect rock paintings and solve puzzles in their "KniePASS". This turns the ascent into an entertaining adventure for the whole family. And at the top, at the end of the trail, you can evaluate your KniePASS and find out how you deal with limits: Are you poetic, adventurous or innovative? Find out!
