After about 15 km you will reach the district capital Weiz.

Route planner 

  • 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.
