The Grabenlandtrail is an approximately 130 km long hiking route through the Styrian Grabenland southeast of Graz to Mureck. It essentially consists of an east and a west route and can be hiked in both directions. Technically, it does not pose any special challenges. The difficulties are more likely logistical: accommodation and travel to various starting points.
The East section 4 (as I named it) leads from Mettersdorfberg/Oberrosenberg via Weinburg to Mureck and along the Mur to Weitersfeld up to Weitersfeld-Dornhof.

Pilgrimage can mean a connection to religion for us, or simply a relaxed walk in search of inner peace. Either way, we will savour the quiet moments along the path to Mariazell. This time, our route is part of long-distance trail 06 and joins the main Mariazell Pilgrimage Route near Graz, which leads from Soboth via Graz and the Almenland Nature Park all the way to the legendary basilica. We start in Mureck.Perhaps, however, our journey began earlier in Maria Bistrica, already carrying us—rich with impressions—across Slovenia and Croatia.

Hike to the Ship Mill and the “” Roll Ferry In addition to its many natural beauties, this hike along the Mur River offers two attractions. In Mureck, a replica of the last ship mill on Styrian soil floats on the river. In Weitersfeld, the very last roll ferry across the Mur is still in operation. This cross-border ferry is what makes this loop hike possible in the first place. If the ferry lands in Slovenia, just ring the bell and cross the Mur for free! The trail continues through Sladki vrh (Süßenberg) and back to Mureck, staying close to the river and gaining only a few meters in elevation.
