Route planner

We start at our starting point, the main square in Weiz.
From there, we walk up to the Weizberg church (spiritual path), where we get a beautiful view of the city of Weiz and everything it has to offer. In summer you can also take a first rest on the meadow.
After the Weizberg church, we continue down the hill to the right in the direction of Krottendorf, where the peaceful Garden of Generations is located.
Afterwards we go through the villages of Preding, Holegg, Götzenbichl, Göttelsberg, Zattach, Affental, In der Weiz, Naas and Landscha.
From Landscha we walk back to the Weizberg church, from where we return via the spiritual path to our starting point, the Weizer Hauptplatz.

Tip: In the area of Göttelsberg-Siedlung it is possible to shorten the hike back to the main square; gradient/descent: 702/702 From Weizberg marked continuously with No. 1.
