Sarossa horseradish trail (Sarossa Kren-Erlebnisweg)

The circular trail begins in the center of the village at the "Bären" and leads in the direction of the municipal office, where we are greeted by a very eye-catching oversized "Krenwurzn" made of wood. A little further on we branch off to the right into the path and follow the legend stations with the story around the miracle root. Through a cool piece of forest and along a field path we come to the outskirts of Rannersdorf, here there is the possibility to go left along the sidewalk back to Mettersdorf or we decide to branch off to the right. Here it is worthwhile to branch off to the Schaustall. In recent years, the farm has shifted from pig farming entirely to the cultivation of dried flowers and process them into small art, which you can admire and purchase at the exhibition in the Schaustall. At the same time, the owner of the house will guide you through the archaeological exhibition: 5000 Years - From Prehistory to Roman Times. You will learn about the interesting results that archaeological excavations have brought to Mettersdorf am Sassbach. We follow the trail along some horseradish fields to the drinking pavilion of the Ursula Spring, which is officially recognized as a healing spring especially for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as for skin diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. There is also a nice swimming pool here for cooling off after a summer round hike for the whole family. After a few hundred meters we have reached the starting point in the middle of Mettersdorf.

Let yourself be enchanted by the legend of the small village and immerse yourself in the cultural past of Mettersdorf am Saßbach!
