アイビスヴァルトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

「自然と深く結びつき、その神秘に対して心を開き受け入れることができる魂を持つ者は、内面豊かな人間である。」ゲオルク・ファルバッハ（1903年～1976年）のこの考えは、きっと多くのハイカーがここアルテンバッハクラムでもよく理解できるだろう。

The branch church of the parish of St. Vincent in Ettendorf lies 1083 m above sea level on the southern foothills of the Koralpe mountain range, by the well-known Soboth reservoir. The town was once known and famous for its glass and mirror production.

Fresh powder snow, like in a fairytale forest

Great excursion destination, no special equipment necessary

The Church of St. Pancras, which belongs to the parish of Remšnik, stands at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level, at the end of the Radelce ridge right next to the border with Austria. It was first mentioned in 1490, and after being destroyed during the Turkish invasions in 1532, it was rebuilt around 1655. For centuries, it was a popular pilgrimage and excursion point due to its location and observation tower, from which a view opens towards Austria, Kapla, Duh na Ostre Vrh, Brezni Vrh and Remšnik. After the First World War, the border between the Kingdom of SHS and Austria ran right through the middle of the church, until, according to an agreement in 1966, it was entirely on the Slovenian side. During the time of Yugoslavia, it suffered severe damage – it was used as a stable and the interior was damaged – but it was restored between 1962 and 1966. The church consists of a rectangular nave, a presbytery, a sacristy and a separate bell tower with a viewing platform, which is closed in winter. Masses are held only a few times a year, usually bilingual, as many believers also come from Austria. Of particular importance are Pancras Sunday in May, Pentecost Monday, the feast of St. Aleš in July and "Beautiful Sunday" in mid-September. Saint Pancras, who is often depicted as a young man with a martyr's crown and a sword or palm, is the patron saint of early Christians, an intercessor against false testimony, headaches and cramps, and one of the fourteen intercessors in emergencies.

From the top of the bell tower you have a sensational view of the valley to Slovenia and Austria

The bell tower offers a fantastic view of both Slovenia and Austria. It's worth climbing up to the viewing platform.
