Wanderung zur St. Leonhard Kirche - Jausenstation Ederhof
The church in Schlanitzen is dedicated to St. Leonhard, the patron saint of prisoners and miners. It was enlarged by the local population during the Turkish invasions as a sign of gratitude that nobody was hurt.
Directions
In the village of Tröpolach we follow the signposts to Schlanitzen and branch off in the south of the village to the foot of the mountain. The steep way of the cross leads us in 30 min to the lonely standing church of Schlanitzen, consecrated to St. Leonhard. The silence, only a short distance from the tourist destinations, captures us. The church hints at the former mining in this area and contains a fantastic gothic stencil ceiling.
Follow the path to the Ederhof snack station.
Return either the same way as the ascent or along the road towards Tröpolach.
Location and how to find us
The Nassfeld-Pressegger See holiday region lies in the Austrian province of Carinthia, directly next to the Italian border.
