What a liberating feeling it was when the Iron Curtain fell – when the rigid border that had separated our homeland from that of our neighbours gave way to friendship and shared experiences. This feeling inevitably returns while hiking the Grenzpanoramaweg Trail.We will see and feel how nature, during all those years when people avoided – or had to avoid – this area, diligently fulfilled its very own purpose: to perfect this landscape, which leads us from the Jakobihaus in the hiking village of Soboth at an altitude of 1,065 metres, across gentle alpine pastures and meadows, through the romantic vineyards of Southern Styria, and onwards to the floodplain landscapes of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve around Bad Radkersburg.The Curtain is history, yet the feeling of freedom along the mountain ridges, with views stretching across the landscapes on both sides, has remained. It creates an unforgettable experience of hiking, culinary enjoyment, and culture. We look forward to the pilgrimage church of Sveti Duh, cosy Buschenschänken, countless seemingly endless panoramic views, and, at the end of the tour, the Parktherme in Bad Radkersburg.
