Panoramaweg Südalpen: Etappe 15 von Lavamünd zum Gasthof Rabensteiner
-
Lavamünd Waldlichtung vlg. Weißegger
From now on it's all uphill for hikers.
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. In order to protect Lavamünd from a next hundred-year flood, the construction of a 1.5 km long protective wall started on October 16, 2018.
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 of the north-facing St. Pauler mountains south above St. Paul.

instructions
From the Drau bridge in Lavamünd, hike north on the eastern bank, cross a road and continue along a hiking trail uphill past the farms vlg. Rachur and Waldegger farms and some very beautiful wayside crosses in about one and a half hours to the Ruskreuz (starting point of the geological nature trail, path "306,03").
Continue in the same direction over a forest ridge to the Rottensteiner Kreuz. Here it goes a good ten minutes over a hollow way slightly uphill to the intersection Ruine Rabenstein / Gasthof Rabensteiner or Kasparstein / Eiser Törl. Turn right here, along hiking trail 306A, past the farmstead vlg. Weißegger farmstead. It is still a 20-minute walk to Gasthof Rabensteiner.
Since this stage is short, you still have enough time to hike from Gasthof Rabensteiner along trail 306A below the castle ruins to St. Paul and its famous Benedictine monastery - it's worth it (additional time there and back about 1 hour 45 minutes)!
