Hiking
On this inspiring tour, you'll discover modern artworks around the idyllic Längsee lake. Stift St. Georgen, a former Benedictine convent, is your starting point. Today it is used as a school, educational center, and hotel. Shortly after starting, you'll encounter the first sculpture of the art trail and follow the route counter-clockwise around the lake. You'll hike through the green lakeside landscape, small villages, and with a dreamlike view of the water.
A total of eight sculptures will accompany you along the way. The project was realized by the sculptor Andres Klimbacher. For this, he divided a prose text written especially for the region into eight sections, and each sculpture picks up on a part of it. At the stations, you'll find the respective text on metal plates, so you can read the entire story piece by piece during your walk.
Beautiful views of the Längsee open up again and again as you pass places like the Georgium or the lidos. In the end, the loop closes again at thestift.

I walked clockwise past the beautiful monastery building, numerous benches and a really great viewing platform, the "Karawankenblick."
