- Description
-
Stainz can be discovered in a sporty and above all healthy way. Not even locals know how many beautiful chapels and wayside crosses there are around Stainz. The tour starts at Stainz Castle, in keeping with the theme. Many "Matterl", small chapels and wayside crosses can be seen on this route. Most of the route (about 12 km) is on asphalt and the remaining kilometres are on gravel paths, trails and forest paths. Variety is definitely a given here.

Take advantage of the beautiful ambience at Stainz Castle and warm up for your upcoming run directly at the car park. Well prepared for the upcoming 4-hour run, set off in the direction of Bründlwald. A beautiful gravel path leads you through the forest to Schönegg. Now run along the road to Preisberg. At the crossroads, take the road on your left and run downhill for a while. After 400 metres, a path branches off to the left (Mitterweg). Follow this path for the time being. After passing through a small forest, you will shortly arrive in "Wald in der Weststeiermark". The path now leads you further through fields and forests in the direction of Rauch-Hof. Here you can discover fish ponds, asparagus fields and a bathing pond. After the beautiful run through the Rauch-Hof, you now come to the road. Walk in the direction of Stainz and turn right into Neurathstraße after the company "Steinbrüche Rath". Follow this road to the end and turn left. In the meantime you have already walked past many Matterln. At the end of Neurath there are still the Schlossblick-Alpakas to discover. Here you now walk straight across Engelweingartenstraße. This path takes you into Ziegelstadelstraße. Directly after the Freydl bakery, turn right and walk through the forest to Eichegg. Once you arrive here, there is also a small chapel to visit. Now head down the Sonnenhügel hill to Kothvogel. Continue at a brisk pace in the direction of Stainz. When you reach the Billa, turn right over the zebra crossing and then straight over the roundabout. The Gewerbeparkstraße leads you to the Bahnhofpark. Walk through the park and follow Langwiesenbachgasse in the direction of Graschuh. A beautiful field and forest path takes you to Schwaig. Now the trail descends a little through Graschuh. Here you can see western Styrian houses and many large farms. Walk straight across the Lasselsdorfer Landesstraße in the direction of Herbersdorf. Now walk around the Frauenkogel, slightly sloping, in the direction of the Öhlmühle Herbersdorf. This oil mill is one of the smallest and oldest oil mills in Styria and definitely worth a visit. You then pass through the district of Ettendorf. Again there is a lot of nature to see. The next destination on the running route is the Georgskapelle (St. George's Chapel). You take the path over the Georgiberg through the Hofwald forest. Then you go to Pichling and for a short stretch onto the B76 motorway. Shortly after the Schlosstoni inn, turn left at a run into the cul-de-sac. At the end, a field path leads to the Marienkapelle chapel. A forest path leads you further to Pichling. You cross the main road and can already see Stainz Castle. A small bridge takes you safely across the small Lemsitzbach stream and now it is only a short way uphill to the starting point. You've done it! Stretch a little before you finish the sports unit for today.
