Kultsteinweg in Kindberg - Mürzhofen

Hiking around the oldest stone structure in Styria. Starting from Kindberg-Mürzhofen, this trail leads around the Kultstein. The path is particularly suitable for families and children. The Kultstein is considered the oldest stone structure (cultural monument) in Styria – a "power spot" – a beautiful place to relax and recharge, offering strength and energy.

The goal of the hike is the Kultstein, located in the heart of a high forest. The Kultstein is considered the oldest stone structure (cultural monument) in Styria, with an estimated age of 2,500 to 4,000 years. It is still unclear which people built this stone structure and for what purpose.

The area around the Kultstein is considered a "power spot". Prehistoric cult sites often share three characteristics, all of which are present here: They are located near springs, are oriented towards the sun, and the place has a special aura.
