06 Hemmaweg - St. Georgen on the Längsee - Gurk

From St. Geogen Abbey, the route goes through a beautiful avenue to Rottenstein and further to Drasendorf. Then you walk on paved roads and afterwards on forest paths to the pilgrimage church Maria Wolschart. Unfortunately, the inn is only sporadically open on weekends. Behind the chapel, a hollow way leads slightly downhill to the country road that leads out of the Wolschart forest. You reach the B83 (there is no marking here), which you follow and cross the B317 at an underpass. Then continue right along cycle path R7 to the Gaminger Kreuz. The path leads north towards Gaming. There you cross the road (again no signage) and continue uphill past the houses. Follow the forest path further towards Meiselding, then reach the L66. Then immediately right on a hiking trail further to Meiselding. Below the church, you go to the elementary school and come after about 200 m to the state road. Here keep right and follow the state road towards Mölbling until after about 200 m you reach the turnoff towards Gunzenberg. Now you go uphill on the paved road. After about 4 km you reach Graschitz, then it is about 1.5 km more to Gunzenberg. From Gunzenberg, follow the state road for about 1.5 km. At a crossroads, turn left onto a country road, follow it for 1 km and then turn right onto a narrow path. You now follow the Gurktal high trail, past the small chapel in Flatt. It continues through a shady road in the forest heading west. At Lugermannkreuz, turn right to the north – here begins the descent to Gurk.
