At the Stiftsgymnasium Wilhering there is a student team that offers guided tours along the Planet Trail. Appointments for tours can be made at any time with this team. Our tours are especially suitable for students from the 3rd to 6th grade. The fairy tale "The Journey of the Sun" was written by the students themselves and forms the basis of the tours. The short stories are presented by the guides to our guests at the posters during the tour. We are reachable via the email address planetenwegwilhering@gmx.at.
