Wieskreuz loop

Open

Nice additional loop for everyone for whom the large market circuit in St. Lambrecht is a bit too short.

St. Lambrecht impresses with its small, well-kept town center and the beautiful landscape in which it is located. Numerous hiking and running routes show the most beautiful sides of the place, which is characterized by the Benedictine monastery of St. Lambrecht.
