    Roadbook

    This run begins in the centre of St. Stefan ob Stainz. Run through it until after the restaurant "Mediterran". At the crossroads, turn left and run towards the sports field. At the crossroads of the former regional office of the Green Cross, turn right and walk uphill. On your right you can hear the sound of the stream. After about 500 metres uphill, leave the asphalt road and turn left. The path leads you along the Lemsitzbach stream through Lestein. You then walk for a short distance, about 400 metres, on a gravel road until you have asphalt under your feet again. By now you have arrived in Grubberg and follow the course of the road to Rosenhof. You are surrounded by nature and can breathe in the fresh air. Again and again, small streams accompany you. The path leads you to the A2 motorway, which you cross underneath. Along a forest and field path, a stream accompanies you through the Zachgraben. Shortly before the A2 Assingberg tunnel, a path leads under the motorway in the direction of Gundersorf. Continue on the forest path at a brisk pace. You follow this path, accompanied by rippling acoustics, back towards Grubberg. Once there, you will immediately notice that you have been here before. Now take the same path via Lestein back to the starting point.

    The centre of St. Stefan ob Stainz now invites you to linger.
