A peaceful hiking trail with wonderful views of Masenberg and Wechsel.
This hiking trail takes us from the center of Vorau via Riegersbach to the Brennerwirt inn. It continues over a small hill to the Hubertus Chapel on the Forster Höhe. Once you arrive at this small forest clearing with a rest area, you can breathe in the fresh forest air and listen to the birds singing. It is a very peaceful place to reflect. On the way back, you pass the Krogger Chapel. At a nearby crossroads, keep right towards Vorau and walk straight ahead past the Milchrahm farm into the forest behind it. Once you reach a hill, continue walking through meadows and you will see the Vorau market below. Walk along the asphalt road into the village.
