We start our hike at the municipal office/Kneippanlage (public parking lot).
We take the village path to St. Johann Dörfl-Au and walk along the foot of the vineyard to Hirnsdorf.
From here, the path leads over the Feistritz to Kaibing, Schlottweg, Teichbauern, Eichfeld and Hüttenbüchl to Herbersteinhöhe.
Now we follow the R8 footpath and cycle path to the Johannisbrücke bridge and through the Herbersteinklamm gorge the path leads us back to the St. Johann bei Herberstein municipal office.
