    View into the country: High above the Glan valley there is a wonderful view into the historic heart of Carinthia and an impressive view of the Karawanks and the Carnic Alps. The hiker also passes many historic wayside crosses which point the way to the fourth of the Holy Mountains, the Lorenziberg.

    A short break in Sörg is recommended before you tackle the ascent to the last of the four mountains, the Lorenziberg. From here you hike downhill back to the old town of St. Veit.

    At Lorenziberg, a breathtaking view opens up over St. Veit and the surrounding land, which lies at the feet of every four-mountain hiker.

    Author’s recommendation

    A detour is recommended along the way to enjoy the impressive scenery of the Adventure Water Trail in Liebenfels.

    Roadbook

    You leave Gradenegg eastwards and bypass the Steinerkogel via forest and meadow paths, repeatedly enjoying magnificent views of the Glan valley and the Karawanks. In Pflausach, you cross the Adventure Water Trail, which leads through the impressive gorge of the Harterbach with the 25m high Sörger waterfall. The Martinskirche in Sörg points the way from afar to the peaceful village on the "balcony" of the Glan valley. Through the towns of Reidenau and Fachau, you follow the hiking trail along the south slope of the Gauerstal up to the church on Lorenziberg, where you can refresh yourself in the inn with wonderful views.

    Over some switchbacks, it goes comfortably along the forest road into the valley until you enter the so-called Hammergraben in Obermühlbach. Impressive rock formations guide your way past the Vitus spring until you reach the starting point of the hike, the old town of St. Veit.
