-
Lavamünd Waldlichtung vlg. Weißegger
The market town is namely not only the lowest-lying place in Carinthia, but also the estuary of the Lavant into the Drava. Lavamünd is located in the southeast of Carinthia, on a headland at the mouth of the Lavant into the Drava.
On this and the next stage of the Panorama Trail Southern Alps, the St. Paul mountains invite you to take a relaxing hike. The extensive, widely visible and heavily dilapidated Rabenstein castle ruins are the destination of the 15th stage. The ruin rises, 691 m high on an isolated, in part, especially to the south, precipitously sloping and steep rocky hill, the north-facing St. Pauler mountains.

Continue in a northerly direction, through a beautiful mixed forest, to Rottensteiner Kreuz. From here, on a hollow path, slightly uphill to the intersection Ruine Rabenstein - Gasthof Rabensteiner or Kasparstein - Eiser Törl. Keeping to the right and along hiking trail 306A, you pass the farmstead vlg. Weissegger farm. It is still about 20 minutes on foot to Gasthof Rabensteiner.
