Description: From the district capital of Feldbach in the heart of the thermal and volcanic country, the route heads south to Bad Gleichenberg. The traditional health resort lies at the foot of the Gleichenberger Kogel - the older volcanoes of the region.

From Bad Gleichenberg it is recommended to cover the remaining distance to Feldbach comfortably with the Dschungelexpress.
