Mühlen-Greith-Jakobsberg

The beautiful, family-friendly circular hiking trail leads from Mühlen to Greith and to Tonnerhütten-Straße. Along the way you can enjoy the view of the Zirbitzkogel.

The Greith parish church stands out very clearly from the townscape. The area around Greith was cleared and settled in the middle of the 12th century. The church in Greith, dedicated to St. Martin, was probably built shortly after 1200. The Greith parish church is a late Gothic building (15th century), the interior furnishings come from different stylistic periods.
