Dobratsch Loop - The route around the nature park - Stage 02

Reinhold Messner

If even Reinhold Messner, the world's most famous mountaineer, describes circumnavigating a fascinating mountain as arguably the most powerful hiking experience, then we should definitely follow his recommendation.

The short long-distance hiking trail in southern Austria offers everything a mountain circuit promises in this sense. The five stages lead through times of former burial mounds, Schremm tunnels, and chaste houses, connect sites of famous painting and former monastic life, roam bizarre landslide landscapes, and lead along old Roman roads. At the intersection of three cultures, the Dobratsch Circuit, with its cross-border aspect, also takes on an unprecedented, forward-looking character.
