Franz Höller circular route, Waisenegg

The easy circular trail, starting from the center of Waisenegg, leads us along the Feistritz along the R8 bike path. We are rewarded with a magnificent view!
The hiking trail was created in honor of the local poet Franz Höller. It leads us past his hometown house and is dotted along the way with sayings and texts from his pen.
