Description
It's like wine, and you could say it's like life in general: It's all about the right mix! Who wants monotony? Especially in your free time and on vacation. There is an area that seems as if God has mixed a cocktail here that is intended for nothing other than pure relaxation: the municipality of Schönberg am Kamp. The southern slopes of the Manhartsberg with their typical wine terraces meet the river landscape of the Kamp and the foothills of the mystical Gföhlerwald forest. The result is a very special blend of wine, water and forest in the middle of the nature park that you will have to search for a long time elsewhere.
The market town of Schönberg, 53 km² and 13 cadastral municipalities with a total of 14 villages: Schönbergneustift, Schönberg, Mollands, See, Stiefer, Thürneustift, Buchberger Waldhütten, Altenhof, Plank, Oberplank, Fernitz, Freischling, Raan and Kriegenreith.
- Route description Starting from Schönberg, near "Alte Schmiede", the circular route passes by the ruins of Schonenburg up to the Manhartsberg. Once at the top, go straight to the forester's lodge; there turn right and continue along the edge of the forest towards Große Heide. Just before the state road towards Obernholz, turn left and walk parallel to it to finally cross it. Then you come to a viewpoint from which you can enjoy a wonderful view as far as Ötscher and Schneeberg. Afterwards, walk down to Kalvarienberg and back to Schönberg.
