WEIßENBACH Kalvarienberg-Alm: Hiking for young and old in Feldbach (WEISSENBACH Kalvarienberg-Alm)

The start is in the direction of the city of Feldbach, the route goes along the Alois-Gerstl-Weg, then follows the Schillerstraße to the left and turns left at the traffic circle, where it leads past the evangelic church and the LKH, to the ascent of the Kalvarienberg. Continue past the Stations of the Cross through an avenue of walnut trees to the Anna Church. There you have a panoramic view over the entire Raab Valley. Then comes the descent to the Kellerstöckl with Dursthäusl. This is followed by a leisurely hike through the forest, turn right on the gravel path and then keep left twice. In the open countryside you pass the osier willows until you reach the alpine pasture resting place with the statue of St. Francis and along the road back to the Kleinmeier inn.

Character of the path
Beautiful view from Calvary (St. Anne's Church - built around 1600), Christandl farm store, Alm rest area with St. Francis statue.

There is the possibility to follow the asphalt path to Dursthäusl instead of the Kreuzweg and thus avoid the climb.
