The promising Hubertus circuit

At the foot of the Schöckl in St. Radegund near Graz is the Hubertus-Runde. This circular tour in the Graz region, named after the power and viewing point around the Hubertus Chapel, covers the less travelled, quiet eastern section of the spring hiking trails.

The 22 springs along the extensive hiking trails in the spa town of St. Radegund near Graz are strung together like a string of pearls - each one of these beautifully crafted springs tells its own story.

One of these spring trails is the Hubertus-Runde. There are many ways to walk and experience this trail:

as a historical hiking trail
as a meditation path 
as a healing trail

More information

Travelling by car:

The provincial capital Graz is only 19 km away from St. Radegund, in half an hour by car you can reach the starting point of the tour at the Curcafe in St. Radegund. 

 
 

At the starting point, the Curcafe St. Radegund, follow the road towards Diepoltsberg for a few 100 metres before turning left at the signpost up to the Doktorteich pond.

The route then continues uphill to the Hubertus Chapel and the Novy spring. This is followed by a final ascent to the Albertinen spring before a longer, more leisurely section to the Schindler spring with its Mantra mill.

Other springs along the way are the Bertha Spring, the Bela Bartok Spring and the Hungarian Madonna. After the Desiree Spring, you follow the path downhill and return to the starting point of the tour.

 
 

The worthwhile detour to the Prießnitz spring above the Schöcklstraße opens up the view of Graz, but involves a number of metres in altitude.

 
 

From Jakominiplatz in Graz to the Schöckl summit in one hour - the following starting and arrival points can be reached by public transport:

Postbus line 250 from Jakominiplatz - Mariatrost - Faßlberg to St. Radegund
