Lowland valley round Leoben

The lowland valley round is located in the ERZBERG LEOBEN region.

Sturdy shoes and canes are recommended.

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: Pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plasters belongs in every rucksack and it is always advisable to put on different layers of clothing.

Hike only along the marked trails!

Planning your desired tour properly in advance is a must.

Emergency call rescue: 144

Emergency reporting tip - give answers to six important questions: What happened? How many injured? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who reported the accident (call-back number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the accident site?

Start of the hike is at the parish church of St. Joseph. Joseph.

The church, a solid structure made of a steel frame with brick filling, forms a wide-spanned single-nave hall. The supporting structure for the ceiling and roof is a steel skeleton consisting of the arch vaulting the wide hall.

Outside, the church was covered with brick-red plaster. The ceiling mirrors with symbols of the seven sacraments and the image of the Mother of God in the choir of angels were created according to the designs of the acad. painter Fritz Rogler from Graz and were painted by the master painter Walter Ramschek from Leoben. The mensa of the high altar, the altar of the sacraments and the communion bench were made of Salzburg marble according to the designs of architect Lebwohl.

The Stations of the Cross, probably the most precious thing in the Donawice church, was made by Ernst von Dombrowski. The original main altar, placed in the presbytery, which is strongly built up and elevated, is flooded with light from the tall narrow windows inserted in the lower two-thirds of the 40-meter-high tower.

Weekday Mass: Wednesday and Friday - 18:00Sunday eve mass: 18:00 hServices on the 1st Sunday of the month: 8:45 a.m. and 10:15 a.m.

Cooking with heart - eating with joy - drinking with pleasure

At Leypold's 3 Raben coziness and enjoyment are held high!

The premises of the old inn invite you to celebrate, enjoy and relax.

Especially the guest garden, which is open in summer, might persuade you to have a glass or two of wine.

The Austrian and international dishes are a special treat - let us spoil your palate! Since we also have a heart for vegetarians and vegans, it is our great concern to conjure up tasty and creative dishes. The homemade pasta, herbal oils, or even our ice cream and sorbet varieties invite you to try with pleasure.

The name Leypold's 3 Raben stands for real natural cuisine as well as for coziness in the true sense of the word!

We entertain you with delicacies from our house, with heart and a lot of friendliness. And a glass of wine, because wine is our passion!
