The Meierei - a train wine tavern - is also unique. Here you can enjoy culinary delights in a special atmosphere. But perhaps you will have a meal after the run. Now it's time for a sporty run along the Gewerbeparkstraße. Run up this road to the JET roundabout, cross it and continue towards rehts. Turn left at the SeneCura social centre.

Take the first road to the left and you will be on your first dirt road. Follow this until you reach Neurath. In Neurath you can discover beautiful West Styrian houses. Stay on the Neurathstraße and refresh yourself at the Johannesbrunnen. You have now covered almost 9 km. The running route continues to "Wald in der Weststeiermark". Here you run straight across the crossroads of the voluntary fire brigade and follow the road, always keeping to the right. Now you have forests on both sides of you. Breathe in the fresh air and start the final sprint. Once you arrive in Schönegg, follow the gravel road through the Bründlwald forest, which leads you directly to the starting point, Stainz Castle
After about 1.5 km you will pass the Samahof in Stallhof. Make a note of it for a good snack after sport.
