September 12, 2021,Magdalenensberg - Christofberg Runde vom Archäologischen Park

Holidays in Carinthia, to start with this very easy hiking trail in the central Carinthian hill country on a high-altitude path with great views with beautiful views of the Klagenfurt basin up to the Carnic and Julian Alps. Quite a lot of hustle and bustle on the Magdalenensberg, otherwise very cozy and relaxed.
