    Roadbook

    The beautiful 12 km run can begin. There are two options for the start towards the main square in Stainz. You can run down the street of the Klosterhöhe or build in a stair run at the beginning by running down the Jakob-Rosolenz Staircase. Cross the main square and turn left at the crossroads at the end. This road leads you past the Buschenschank Samahof and takes you directly to Stallhof. As soon as you see a long, straight road on your right, turn off and follow it. At the end of this road, walk straight across the crossroads and take the first road on the right. Here you will pass through a quiet residential area towards Bahnhofpark. Take the narrow gravel path which leads you directly to the Flascherlzug grounds. A beautiful park with a new children's playground can be found on your right. The Meierei - a train wine tavern - is also unique. Here you can enjoy culinary delights in a special atmosphere. But perhaps you will have a meal after the run. Now it's time for a sporty run along the Gewerbeparkstraße. Run up this road to the JET roundabout, cross it and continue towards rehts. Turn left at the SeneCura social centre. After about 400 metres on Engelweingartenstraße, turn into Franz-Michael-Hangi-Straße. This is the beginning of a residential area. Take the first road to the left and you will be on your first dirt road. Follow this until you reach Neurath. In Neurath you can discover beautiful West Styrian houses. Stay on the Neurathstraße and refresh yourself at the Johannesbrunnen. You have now covered almost 9 km. The running route continues to "Wald in der Weststeiermark". Here you run straight across the crossroads of the voluntary fire brigade and follow the road, always keeping to the right. Now you have forests on both sides of you. Breathe in the fresh air and start the final sprint. Once you arrive in Schönegg, follow the gravel road through the Bründlwald forest, which leads you directly to the starting point, Stainz Castle.
