Hermagor - Gösseringgraben - Radniger waterfall - Radnig - Hermagor

You can relax along the Gössering - trail 410 can be used here by bike or pushchair, and it only really starts to climb from the Gössering bridge west of the power station. The Madatsche is grazed, the Radnig waterfall offers welcome cooling in summer and hikers can eat well at the Radnig Badl and enjoy a pleasant swim in the marvellous pool purified by water plants. Radnig has a small Romanesque church with interesting Gothic stencil paintings. From Radnig it is a good 30 minutes to Hermagor, or you can take the diversions via the dowsing path to Obervellach. The ancient Romans were already travelling here.

Suggestion

A Gothic stencilled ceiling worth seeing can be viewed in the church in Radnig.

Equipment

Normal hiking equipment, hiking boots are recommended.

Directions

From Villach:
From the A2 south motorway, take the Hermagor exit and continue on the B111 to Hermagor. In Hermagor, follow the main road (one-way street) in the direction of the Catholic church and then continue to Schützenpark (car park no. 2 on the right-hand side of the one-way street).

Directions

From car park no. 2 in Hermagor on the main road through the Schützenpark to the north in a westerly direction, then to the right always following the Gössering on romantic path no. 210 past a hydroelectric power station (to there approx. ¾ h), then after crossing the stream more steeply uphill on the gravel path to the meadow and then immediately branching off onto path no. 9. The Radniger waterfall invites you to take a break: then follow trail no. 9 for a short distance and branch off onto trail no. 14 (gravel path), which leads along the edge of the forest (game reserve nearby). At the Radniger Badl (one of the first baths in Austria with natural water purification) we can refresh ourselves and then follow path no. 23 to the village of Radnig. After Hermagor we can descend on the road or through the forest (path 10), this path is also suitable as a hiking trail from Hermagor to Radnig.
