A special circular hiking trail for all the senses. Here you can hear the silence, discover rare orchids that only grow on Kreuzberg (e.g. the hummingbird orchid), and enjoy the wonderful view from the Kreuzberg lookout tower.

Starting at the Kreuzbergwarte and the Philosophenweg section, you can enjoy a relaxed circular hike around the Kreuzberg. You can also explore the Großklein region in the Sulmtal Sausal valley. Magnificent viewpoints and several places to stop for refreshments invite you to linger. So, put on your hiking boots, recharge your batteries, do your soul some good, and enjoy the South Styria adventure region to the fullest.
