Buchkogelsteig

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here you are in the city and yet in the middle of the countryside. You can enjoy pure nature from every side. For walking, jogging, going for a walk. A wonderful path with a great view of Graz!

Highlight • Religious Site

On the Mount of Olives you will find the (pilgrimage) church of St. Johann and Paul, which can be considered the highlight of a small tour with a tavern next door (closed on Mondays) and a viewing platform! :)
