The culturally rich Calvary tour

The Calvary circular tour starts in St. Radegund near Graz. This trail leads dedicated hikers in the west of the village up to the Novystein at 910 m above sea level. Passing springs with heavy water flow, Ehrenfels Castle and the forest nature trail at Novystein, you will be rewarded with cultural highlights at the end: the recently completely renovated Calvary with the Hermitage and the beautiful parish church.
The 22 springs are strung together like a string of pearls along the extensive hiking trails in the spa town of St. Radegund near Graz - each of these beautifully captured springs tells its own story.
