October 17, 2025,Sveti Duh - Heiligengeistklamm 🥾
The Heiligengeistklamm Gorge was chosen as the most beautiful place in Styria in 2015 by the Austrian Broadcasting Company (ORF) as part of the program "9 Places 9 Treasures" and is truly a special natural gem.

The gorge is natural and there is no admission charge. It climbs steeply at times, and you repeatedly cross the stream. It's very beautiful and wonderfully green, with lots of moss, ferns, and …

Today I took a short hike through the Heiligengeistklamm Gorge to the Holy Spirit Church on Osterberg. From there, I walked back down to the parking lot via the border panoramic path between Austria and Slovenia.
Sturdy footwear is definitely required for the gorge, and you need to have surefootedness.
