Arzberg circuit, Passail

This round leads from Passail in the Almenland Nature Park out to Arzberg, first along the Raab and then along the Moder. We go back over the Hundsberg with a beautiful view.
The idyllic Arzberg is not only an old mining village, but also the starting point for hikes in the Große Raabklamm. The Raab rises at the foot of the Osser, above Passail, then flows through Eastern Styria and finally flows into the Danube near Györ in Hungary.

This round follows the Raab from the town center out to Arzberg. The rest of the route then leads along the Moder to the junction at the waste collection center and up to the Hundsberg. We then return to the starting point along the cemetery and past the market square.

A nice lap exclusively on asphalt, also suitable as a short hike!

Many thanks to Ali Möstl for providing the track!
