Nice bike road through farms to arrive there.

It's not just its name that makes the "Black Lord" encountered here a remarkable highlight that hikers shouldn't pass by carelessly. The small sacred monument standing by the path is definitely worth a short rest and a second look: The wooden cross supports a corpus – it is therefore a crucifix – with the crucified Christ ("Lord") painted black. A small gabled roof provides some protection from the weather. At the upper end of the longitudinal beam, the viewer not only finds the often-seen plaque with the letters "INRI" (in Latin the abbreviation for "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"), but also a surprising glass-framed image of the Virgin Mary. She is shown with an open heart as the "Sorrowful Mother of God."

Beautiful path along the Mur, with several opportunities to rest by the water.

The castle, which dates back to the 15th century, is something very special because it still looks architecturally the same as it did over 300 years ago. It has neither been rebuilt nor destroyed in its long history. The castle is now a listed monument. You can also visit it on Monument Day.

It's a shame that this former highlight has become so run down and dilapidated. The community could have built a new walk-in chapel for hikers long ago, instead of building up the entire valley with luxury chalets!

A beautiful mountain for running and biking. Approximately 480 m in altitude and 5 km to the Black Lord
