A14 Lavamünd » Soboth
  |   6h00   |   18.7 km   |   1289 m   |   579 m

From Lavamünd, the trail mostly passes through woodland. The trees do thin out in places however, and you can enjoy the lovely view into the Drautal valley. At the "Weintrattl", you will cross the highest point of the Mariazell trail (06). The crossing of the Höllgraben rift marks the border between Carinthia and Styria. One last climb leads to the peaceful little village of Soboth.

    Von Lavamünd bis zum Hörnigkreuz sind ist der GPS Track falsch und irreführend, führt durch völlig unwegsames Gelände. Beim Sobothstausee lohnt der kurze Abstecher zum Stausee, nettes Cafe mit schöner Aussicht und guten Burgers. In Spboth wirklich tolle und günstige Nächtigung im GH Mörth, Pilgerzimmer ( mit Gemeinschaftsdusche) um 23€ mit Frühstück.

    From Lavamünd to the Hörnigkreuz the GPS track is wrong and misleading, leading through completely rough terrain. When Sobothstausee worth the short detour to the reservoir, nice cafe with beautiful views and good Burgers. In Spboth really great and cheap night in the GH Mörth, Pilgerzimmer (with shared shower) to 23 € with breakfast.
