    Roadbook

    The starting point is the parking lot in Olsa. First, you walk south along the road (Hemmapilgerweg), which finally leads you to Grafendorf, where you turn left over a bridge heading east. Then the first street to the right (Lindenstraße) leads to the parish church Grafendorf. You continue on Lindenstraße and then turn right into St. Mauritzenweg. You pass the filial church St. Mauritzen and then turn left into Schützenweg. You pass the beautiful Genusshof vlg. Kreuzer until the path merges back into Lindenstraße. Here, you turn left and follow the path over the wooden bridge on the right-hand side into Zeltschacher Straße. Follow this street for a while until a street leads left uphill towards Schwall into the forest. You walk through the shady forest to the first curve and turn left there towards Olsa/Friesach. The path leads you at the foot of the Minachberg first into Knappenweg, then left into Gaisberger Straße, and finally back to Olsa.
