The Kathreinkogel loop invites you to experience nature and relax. From the start on solid ground along the Keutschacher Straße, the trail leads through the Schieflinger forest in the direction of St. Kathrein. As a stopover we recommend the 772 m high Kathreinkogel, where prehistoric and Roman excavations have been discovered. The way back is mainly on natural ground, around the Schieflinger forest, back to the municipal office. The museum is open from June to September.
