In the Footsteps of the Woodcarver Hans PendlThe hike connects the themed trails Kernkapellenweg and Burgthannerweg and leads via a figure-eight loop to "7 Places with 7 Treasures." The artworks of the well-known woodcarver Hans Pendl invite you to linger at each location. Sacred motifs and sculptures convey spiritual messages, and you can reflect on these thoughts from station to station. The trail itself is already worth the hike as it introduces you to the natural and cultural landscape around St. Ruprecht an der Raab. What you wouldn’t suspect at first glance in the "flatlands of East Styria" is the view along the route combined with well-marked paths and cozy resting places. A longer stay on the Kernkapellenweg, the first themed trail, should be planned at the third station – Kernkapelle – as you can refresh yourself here with regional products from the Beerenstoak self-service vending machine. Another highlight is the art park, where more than 35 artists present the connection between nature and culture with 50 artworks. Via the Burgthannerweg, you then reach the long-known Stefaniequelle. Since the 18th century, people have been pilgrimage to this power spot because the water is said to relieve eye ailments, possibly due to the contained humic acid. Whatever the case, "If it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt," so you can definitely wash your eyes here.

Austria’s Longest GorgeYou simply have to hike through the Raabklamm! Austria’s longest gorge is often referred to as a “natural jewel of Styria,” as the protected area remains completely untouched over long stretches and is of great importance for species and habitat conservation. The Raab River originates in the Almenland Nature Park on the slopes of the Osser at an elevation of 1,150 m; from there, it flows through the Passail Basin before cutting deeply into the landscape between the Schöckl Massif and the Weizer Bergland as it heads southeast. The resulting gorge-like valley is the Große Raabklamm. Stretching approximately 10 km from Arzberg to the Jägerwirt, the Raab flows past rock faces up to 600 m high in places, offering a breathtaking natural backdrop. The Kleine Raabklamm, approximately 5 km long, is a popular hiking destination for families with children, as the trail is easy to navigate and has no significant inclines. The Raab Gorge is a popular destination and, thanks to its clearly marked trails with multiple entry and exit points, shortcuts, information boards, and rest areas, offers an exciting nature experience near the town of Weiz. An attractive hiking experience is to combine the easy section of the Kleine Raabklamm with the somewhat more challenging route through the Große Raabklamm, allowing you to experience the beauty of Austria’s longest gorge in its entirety.
