More information
The district capital of Weiz is located in eastern Styria and is very easy to reach via the A2 from Vienna (approx. 2 hrs) and from Graz (approx. 30 min).
- Arrival from Vienna and Graz: On the A2 from Vienna, take motorway exit 161 / Gleisdorf West in the direction of B54 / B64. Follow the B65 / Gleisdorfer Bundesstraße until you reach the B54 / Wechselbundesstraße. At the roundabout take the second exit to the B64 / Rechberg-Bundesstraße. After about 15 km you will reach the district capital Weiz.
- Arriving from Graz via the main road: take Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Kai and Wickenburggasse to Jahngasse / B67a. Follow the B72 to Weiz and take the exit towards Weiz -West.
- We start at our starting point, the main square in Weiz.
- From there, we walk up to the Weizberg church (spiritual path), where we get a beautiful view of the city of Weiz and everything it has to offer. In summer you can also take a first rest on the meadow.
- After the Weizberg church, we continue down the hill to the right in the direction of Krottendorf, where the peaceful Garden of Generations is located.
- Afterwards we go through the villages of Preding, Holegg, Götzenbichl, Göttelsberg, Zattach, Affental, In der Weiz, Naas and Landscha.
- From Landscha we walk back to the Weizberg church, from where we return via the spiritual path to our starting point, the Weizer Hauptplatz.
Tip: In the area of Göttelsberg-Siedlung it is possible to shorten the hike back to the main square; gradient/descent: 702/702 From Weizberg marked continuously with No. 1.
