Stainz bei Straden - Rosenberg

Access to starting point:
From Gornja Radgona or Gederovci, we drive to Radgona / Bad Radkersburg and follow the signs for Vienna / Wien and Graz / Graz. After the settlement of Obrajna / Halbenrain, we soon turn right towards the town of Vrbna / Feldbach. We continue through a few more settlements, and when we arrive in the settlement of Stainz bei Straden, the described trail begins at the bus stop Stainz bei Straden Ort. There are no designated parking spaces for hikers at the starting point.

Path description:
A few steps north of the bus stop we reach a marked intersection from which we head right towards the east following the signs for Vulkanland Aussichtswarte. At first we walk on the sidewalk and along the initially still quite dense part of the settlement, after a few minutes we arrive at a small intersection where the marked path splits.
We continue straight ahead (left leads the path Auf den Spuren der Vulkane – Um die Mitte, which also leads to the viewpoint tower Aussichtswarte Vulkanland), the sidewalk and the settlement soon end.
The road then begins to climb more noticeably, occasionally leading us past individual houses of the Stainzberg settlement. Higher up, a nice view opens up, which on good visibility extends all the way to the Alps, otherwise there is a nice view especially towards Straden, and at intersections we continue straight ahead, i.e. along the main road. When we higher up pass through a belt of forest onto the scenic southern slopes we reach the settlement Rožni Vrh / Rosenberg, and here we continue past a few houses to a marked junction, where the path from the Tieschen settlement joins us from the right.
Here we go left and quickly reach the panoramic summit of Rosenberg, where there are a few benches.
The description and photos refer to the condition in December 2025.
