Hinterkirchner-Runde St. Kathrein/Offenegg

Open
Short walk in St. Kathrein am Offenegg in the Almenland Nature Park in Styria - over forest and meadow paths, from the center to the "Hinterkirchner".

This is an ideal round for all guests in St. Kathrein, be it to get a quick overview of the place or as a "digestive walk" after a leisurely and perhaps a little too lavish lunch or dinner.
