The "Fußspur" is divided into two parts: The "left foot" leads from Königsberg (Tieschen) to Klöch, where the firm, basaltic subsoil allows the most fragrant Traminers to thrive.

The continuation via Halbenrain finally gives the foot a firm footing. The Mur is reached via Halbenrain. Along the waterway it goes to the south-easternmost tip of the province, Bad Radkersburg.

The right foot leads from Straden to Deutsch Goritz and Ratschendorf through the lowlands towards the Mur. On the way, water plays the decisive role, whether in Helfbrunn or in Mureck.The Mur bridge there and the one in Bad Radkersburg are the link for pilgrims on the Marian Paths from Slovenia through the thermal and volcanic country to Mariazell.

Smart backpack packing makes hiking life easier: Always question the equipment - what do I really need? Pay attention to a balanced load distribution. Carry heavy items as close to your body as possible. Put things that are needed often - such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map - in the top lid compartment. Take enough liquids with you and stow them in a side pocket for easy access. Don't forget a snack or muesli bar for energy. Don't forget cash!

An emergency kit belongs in every rucksack!
First aid kit, mobile phone with fully charged battery, hiking map or GPS device for orientation, small pocket knife.
Protection against heat and cold - it is always advisable to dress according to the "onion system"!
Cap, sun cream & sunglasses, thin hat & gloves, change of clothes, rain jacket
A good hiking boot is a perfect companion and should never be missing!
Don't forget blister plasters just in case!
If necessary, hiking poles are recommended!

Picnic tip: Wine arbour at Seindl, wonderful view
