    Wir sind die schöne Tour heute nachgegangen, also ohne Wanderführer, und waren angetan ob des Ausblicks und auch aufgrund der wenig befahrenen Straßen, welche man hin und wieder entlanggeht. Alleine die Botanik ist sehr bemerkens- und beachtenswert. Obwohl die Tour Anstiege ausweist, ist sie sicher nicht zu schwer zu gehen.

    Es ist auf dieser Rundwanderung immer wieder überraschend, wie man auf ruhige, beschauliche Plätze für südasiatische Übungen treffen kann. Eindrucksvoll ist die Verbindung von Übungen und Aussichtspunkten in Richtung Klagenfurt Becken!

    Es ist auf dieser Rundwanderung immer wieder überraschend, wie man auf ruhige, beschauliche Plätze für südasiatische Übungen treffen kann, zumal sich diese Kraftorte sehr nahe des Ballungszentrums befinden.
