The hike from Grades to the Feistritz church in Carinthia is a delightful route through the picturesque landscape of central Carinthia.

The well-marked path first leads through gentle hills and along idyllic meadows before entering dense forests.
Along the way, hikers pass traditional farms and small chapels, offering insight into the regional culture and history. The route repeatedly offers impressive views of the surrounding mountains and the Glan valley.
