The small pilgrimage church with its magnificent view is surrounded by forest on a hilltop above Wetzelsdorf. A pilgrimage church named St. Johann am Kögelein, dedicated to John the Baptist, was first mentioned in 1507. The church complex stands on an artificial structure, the ground plan of which, however, is not related to the church itself. According to oral tradition, the ruins of a castle once stood on the hilltop where the church now stands. Its name is connected to the image on the high altar. It depicts the two Roman brothers, martyrs and patron saints John and Paul, who were beheaded by the Roman Emperor Julian. The Admont Baroque painter Bartolomeo Altomonte created the ceiling frescoes. Until 1996, the Church of St. John and Paul belonged to Admont Abbey, whose coat of arms is also found on the high altar. Since then, the city of Graz has owned the church. Somewhat hidden behind the church, there's a platform offering a magnificent view of the city of Graz, the Schlossberg hill, and the Schöckl mountain. Besides signs indicating which mountain or direction you're looking at, there are also wooden sun loungers and a few other seats. There are also some benches in front of the church for resting.

Currently closed for renovations. Had to turn around today.

nice segment (also for Stravists) - who is the fastest?

It is a magic place

One of the best view in all Styria

The cycle path is really wonderful to ride; in both directions

Pedestrian and cycle path bridge over the Mur in the Austrian province of Styria connects the two towns of Gratwein and Gratkorn and is located on the R2 cycle path

Feelings of happiness arise there at any time of year. It is a very special spot on earth, a true natural idyll, otherwise Arnie, the most famous son of the place - who grew up nearby and whose birthplace now shows his career as a museum - would probably not have proposed marriage to his then fiancée Maria Shriver right here, in a rowing boat on the Thalersee. Even though that was a while ago, the original boat on the shore of the Thalersee still bears witness to it today.
