For a jogging round in Deutschfeistritz, I recommend the section on the path along the Mur river. This offers a flat and pleasant route with a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding nature. For those who like it more athletic and are looking for elevation gain, the challenging route through the shady Etscherlgraben is also great. Both variants are perfect for jogging in peace and enjoying nature.
