More information

The starting point of this tour is at the parking lot of the Billa supermarket in St. Peter Freienstein.
The starting point of this tour is at the parking lot of the Billa supermarket in St. Peter Freienstein and leads after crossing the railroad line through the Schörglhofsiedlung near the wire rolling mill of VÖEST-Alpine to Neuwerk in Donawitz. It now goes back over the railroad and after the traffic circle at the former "Fröschlwirt" straight ahead into the Tollinggraben. First you pass the Ansitz Tollinghof - a former weir, which unfortunately cannot be visited - on a slightly ascending gravel road, before the path winds its way up through the Tollinggraben. At the end of the Tollinggraben, the two routes rejoin and after a short, steep climb, you reach the high plateau with scattered farms, pastures and magnificent panoramic views. The descent to the Upper Tollinggraben and to St. Peter Fr. is now on a good gravel road in the forest and, after passing the Freienstein castle complex, you return to the starting point.

The route is 2% on the main paved road and 98% on secondary roads. The nature of these roads and paths is divided into 20% asphalt and 80% gravel.
