A real adventure for fit, active hikers, taking in stunning spots where the river’s power is in full force.

You start at the Jakobishaus in Soboth and first follow Trail No. 9 or Trail No. 8 to the trailhead, then walk upstream along the Feistritzbach. Another option is to drive directly to one of the two car parks at the trailhead (turn off the B69 towards Laaken or Laakener Straße before the Feistritzbach) Wild hiking involves free, off-trail exploration of untouched valleys and gorges. It places high demands on walking technique – walking across rough terrain, negotiating boulders and tree trunks, crossing streams and constantly moving across wet, slippery ground are the norm! This route is only suitable for very fit, active hikers!
