The Josef Krainer Trail passes through several municipalities. It starts here in the municipality of Wildon.
The highlight of the Josef Krainer Trail is the memorial to Josef Krainer, former governor of Styria. The memorial is a round building made of Aframer limestone, set in the open countryside, designed by architect Kurt Weber-Mzell and built by Anton Liebmann. The stained glass windows were created by Alfred Wickenburg, the crucifixion group by Franz Weiß and the bronze relief by Adolf Zilli. The round altar table stands on the spot where Josef Krainer died while hunting.
