07 Hemmapilgerweg - Guttaring - Gurk

The starting point is Guttaring. Opposite the Kassl inn, follow the sidewalk along the road to Althofen. After a little more than one kilometer of a gentle ascent, turn right into the forest and follow the forest path to the Agrar HAK in Weindorf. Here you have a beautiful view of Althofen. Slightly ascending, head north into a wooded area. Follow the signs until you reach the Kalvarienberg Church in Althofen. Then the stations of the cross lead downhill and you reach the Fronfeste and the old town of Althofen. Below the viewpoint, turn right and follow the forest path north to Töschelhof Castle, which houses a school. Here you turn left onto Töscheldorfer Landesstraße, which you follow for about 1 km. At the Rabensteiner Kreuz, turn left onto the field path and follow it until you reach the station of the old Gurktalbahn and later Pöckstein Castle. Exercise caution when crossing the Friesach federal road here. After about 50m on the Gurktal federal road, turn left and cross the Gurk river. Then keep right and follow the bike path until you reach Hackl. Cross the Gurk river and follow bike path R5B to Mellach. There, turn right onto a country road. At the next fork, keep left again and continue towards Wildbachgraben. At the next turn-off, keep left and walk past two ponds towards Straßburg. You walk through the town of Straßburg and then follow the bike path westwards, which leads directly to Gurk.
