Travelling by car:

The provincial capital Graz is only 19 km away from St. Radegund, in half an hour by car you can reach the starting point of the tour at the Curcafe in St. Radegund.

At the starting point, the Curcafe St. Radegund, follow the road towards Diepoltsberg for a few 100 metres before turning left at the signpost up to the Doktorteich pond.

The route then continues uphill to the Hubertus Chapel and the Novy spring. This is followed by a final ascent to the Albertinen spring before a longer, more leisurely section to the Schindler spring with its Mantra mill.

Other springs along the way are the Bertha Spring, the Bela Bartok Spring and the Hungarian Madonna. After the Desiree Spring, you follow the path downhill and return to the starting point of the tour.

The worthwhile detour to the Prießnitz spring above the Schöcklstraße opens up the view of Graz, but involves a number of metres in altitude.
