    Start your short walk at the town square, heading east, and after a short stroll through the village, you’ll reach the Gurk River. Cross the wooden bridge and let your mind wander as you stroll along the Gurk! This idyllic spot invites

    you

    to settle down in the cool shade of the trees and listen to the Gurk River flowing

    by. After your break, follow the signs past the outdoor pool and the sports field until you reach the Magdalene Chapel at the edge of the forest. Here you’ll enjoy a wonderful view over Weitensfeld all the way to Flattnitz. Back in the village, walk along Magdalenenstraße; a pedestrian bridge will take you to the main square.
