St. Andrä: valley hiking trail via St. Andrä recreational facility
Beautiful hike on the valley floor of the middle Lavant valley.
The St. Andrä valley hiking trail is very varied and offers something for every taste.
Culture (Basilica Maria Loreto, cathedral and parish church), bathing possibility (St. Andrä recreational facility), as well as other beautiful hikes (e.g., bee educational trail).
Author’s recommendation
From Eitweg or St. Ulrich, you have the opportunity to explore the hiking area of the Koralpe via the "Goding hiking trails" (walking time approx. 3-4 hours).
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
