Nature, churches and culinary delights. The Dursttour FB4 is one of a total of 14 forest and meadow tours in the Feldbach region in the thermal and volcanic country of Styria.

A highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the Glojach Chapel, which sits enthroned at the highest settlement point of the district and offers a view in all directions. Good bourgeois inns line this tour. But the pleasure does not stop at the palate. The eye can also look forward to pleasurable views along the ridges of the hills.
