Experience a unique combination of nature, history and art on our cozy cultural hike to Galerie Weiertal - probably the most beautiful garden gallery far and wide.

A special highlight awaits you on the way there: an exclusive guided tour with former government councillor Dr. Hans Hollenstein in the former Mariazell Monastery on the Berenberg. With his in-depth knowledge and captivating narrative style, he brings the eventful history of this place to life in an impressive way.

Once we arrive at Galerie Weiertal, we immerse ourselves in the summer exhibition "Back To The Roots", which was created to mark the 25th anniversary of the exhibition. Invited artists and duos have developed objects, installations as well as audio and video works especially for this show that question our relationship to our roots: What does origin mean? How does our past shape our identity? And how do we find stability in a constantly changing world?

With an exciting guided tour by a young art historian, we gain deeper insights into the works, which are not only thought-provoking, but also open up new perspectives with cheerfulness and humor. What does happiness mean? What visions do we have for our future? The works of art provide answers - and invite us to ask new questions.

The crowning glory is a fine aperitif drink, which rounds off the impressions of this extraordinary cultural and natural experience.
