The trail consists of the Kernkapellenweg and Burgthannerweg. At seven special spots, you can experience seven treasures featuring wood carvings by Hans Pendl from Ruprerecht. Beginning with the Peace Grotto under the church steps of the remarkable Baroque church of St. Ruprecht an der Raab, a special place of tranquility, the hiking trail continues along the Kernkapellenweg. Special resting places await you: the Hubertus Chapel, the Kernkapelle with its magnificent view and life-size Jesus of Emmaus, the Arndorf Prayer Chapel, and the Art Park. Back at the main square, the trail continues onto the Burgthannerweg and the Bee Nature Trail. Numerous sights, such as the Willow Dome and the Nature DDD TV, invite you to rest, but the most special features here are the legendary Stefanie Spring, whose water is said to have eye-healing properties, and the blessing site for children with a tree shrine in a 130-year-old oak tree. The route returns to the main square via an apple orchard with a wonderful view of St. Ruprecht.

Too often you just drive past it - stop and pause! The initiative for building the peace grotto can be found here. http://friedensgrotte.st.ruprecht.at/de/die-initiative-64.html The light of peace: Since Christmas 2018, the light of peace can also be picked up in the peace grotto. A perennial burner ensures that the light is on all year round.

A nice idea. If the figure were carved out of the tree (instead of set in) it would be really impressive.

The oldest church in Eastern Styria was probably built in the middle of the 11th century and mentioned in a document in 1187. There is nothing left of the Romanesque building, the basement of the south tower has been preserved from the Gothic building. From 1728 to 1737 the church was rebuilt with the architect Fidelis Heinzl and the builder Lorenz Statthaler. A restoration took place in 1950.
