Alpenbockweg
The Alpenbockweg is a path that got its name from the beautiful, strictly protected species of the blueish-black Alpine longhorn beetle, which (still) has its habitat here and – if you’re lucky – can be photographed from early July to mid-August. Start at the Rein Abbey car park, take trail no. 31 after the Johann Pabst Halle and ascend to St Ulrich’s church, which has drawn the eyes of visitors to this valley basin ever since 1453. The path then leads on via the Ulrichsberg forest road into Kastental valley (trail 34a/b and through Mühlbachgraben/Prälatenweg back to the abbey; distance: 5 km, lasting 2 hours; altitude difference: 180 m).
Ulrichsberg tour
The Ulrichsberg tour leads from Rein Abbey via trail no. 31 up to St Ulrich’s church, which has drawn the eyes of visitors to this valley basin ever since 1453. The way back to the abbey is via the Sonnseitenweg path (no. 31). Distance: 3.5 km, lasting 1.5 hours.
Prälatenweg
The Prälatenweg is the first and only barrier-free hiking path in OberGraz. Starting at Rein Abbey, you follow the gravel forest road and the Eisbach upstream (trail no. 30). After some time you see a small bridge at the right signalling the way back. This site is a popular playground for children and cooling refreshment for dogs. The path is easily negotiable both walking and by bike, also with pushchairs and wheelchairs. Distance: 3 km, lasting 1 hour, barrier-free.
