28d-Seckau - Neuhofen Rundwanderweg

This wonderful hike or Nordic walking tour on forest and meadow paths shows us small hidden places, past enchanted-looking ponds to the Schachenkirche. Numerous vantage points invite you to take photos of Seckau in the Murtal adventure region.

On this varied hike or Nordic walking tour, we start at the Jufa Seckau in the Murtal adventure region and walk past the Seckau Abbey to the Seckau middle school. There we keep to the right and walk downhill through the forest until we reach the Nikolausgrabenweg. At the end of this path we cross the L517 and enter the Schachenwald and make a detour for a rest to the baroque Schutzengelkirche. Now the path leads us back via Neuhofen past the Kahlbacher farm to Hart and back to Seckau.
