Organ Hiking: Stage Stubenberg - St. Johann bei Herberstein
OpenDownload the free "Hearonymus" app, select "Churches in ApfelLand-Stubenbergsee and Pöllau Valley Nature Park" in the "Guides" section and your smartphone will become an audio guide. Churches and their organs and bells are presented and brought to life acoustically, so you can get to know the advantages of an individual tour with the sound of bells and organs.
The individual organ hiking tours can be easily combined with each other and can be walked in both directions, so that everything is possible, from a short hike to a long-distance hike.

Now it really gets going, as the path climbs steeply from here, leading us exclusively through a beautiful mixed forest until we reach the highest point of the Geierwand.
Once we reach the highest point, we are rewarded with a breathtaking view of Lake Stubenberg and the surrounding area. After a short rest, which we have earned, we continue. The descent initially runs along the edge of the forest and then continues across meadows, past farmsteads and through a short section of forest to the Heinrichhöhe/ Kranzl vantage point, from where we have a unique view of Herberstein Castle (this bird's eye view is only reserved for hard-working hikers). After this fantastic impression of this imposing building, we continue to the "Holy Sepulchre".
There are three chapels on this beautiful square. This is a quiet, beautiful place that invites you to linger. From here, the route continues steadily downhill, where we are accompanied by Stations of the Cross leading through a beech forest, the dimensions of which leave us in awe. After leaving the forest, we pass the Rosalia Chapel on the outskirts of St. Johann bei Herberstein and then walk a little further until we reach the parish church of St. Johann bei Herberstein.
