The Flying Coaster provides a breathtaking rollercoaster feeling and a high fun factor. From the bottom station of the zipline, a thin tube leads down into the forest at a height of between 3 and 12 metres and is built in the design of a roller coaster with up and down elements. Guests whizz past the ground and trees at speeds of up to 40 km/h down into the valley. The track is around 800 metres long and covers a height difference of over 100 metres. A ride on the Flying Coaster in Gröbming guarantees a pure adrenaline rush.
Für Genießer ist allerdings Zweiteres, das Bauernladenstüberl ein heißer Tipp: Denn dort gibt es nachweislich den besten Käse Österreichs. Im Sommer 2018 gewann Familie Aichhorn („Kreebauer“) vom Bauernladenstüberl mit der Genusskrone die höchste und nur alle 2 Jahre vergebene Auszeichnung aller Direktvermarkter des Landes für den besten Schnittkäse Österreichs 2018 und 2019. Diesen Gaumenschmaus sollte man sich keinesfalls entgehen lassen.
