    Follow the hiking trail marker No. 6

    The starting point at St. Georgen Abbey offers a wonderful view of the idyllic Längsee with its surrounding reed and swamp forest belt. After a somewhat challenging ascent southwards to the Otwinskogel, you reach the unique viewpoint above the "Oberweinzer" farm, where you can take a short rest on a wooden bench and enjoy the view of Hochosterwitz Castle. Here the descent begins (keep left) along a gravel road to the village of Launsdorf. Turn left before the church. After crossing the northern part of the village, a gentle ascent begins along the foot of Buchberg. The shady forest path turns northwest again; in the distance, the Altmannsberg ruin and Mannsberg Castle are visible. Passing Rottenstein and the Rottensteiner Kreuz field monument, the path leads back to the starting point, St. Georgen Abbey.

    Author’s recommendation

    A visit to the venerable St. Georgen Abbey and educational center, a former Benedictine nunnery with the impressive Renaissance arcades, is worthwhile. In the courtyard of the abbey building is the St. Georgen Abbey Church; the newly designed garden restaurant invites you to enjoy culinary variations for a pleasant stay and conclusion of the hike.
