The Kleeblattwanderweg No. 1 variant through the Heiligengeistklamm starts at the Spitzmühle (mill) in Leutschach. From here, follow the trail that runs beside and across the stream. Hike through the gorge passing many beautiful waterfalls and numerous special botanical features along the way. Once you've made it to the top, continue across an alpine meadow to the Hof Waucher, and from there follow the road to the border crossing. The trail now continues in Slovenia, towards the church of Sv. Duh. From Sv. Duh, hike along the panoramic border trail on short sections of road and then through the forest to the Buschenschank Postl wine tavern (commonly known as Dobay). Passing via the OberGuess mill and the Buschenschank Grill wine tavern (commonly known as Weisch), you will then continue through the vineyards to the Albrecher (Oberer Muhri) and from there back to where you started.
