With its five stops leading into the market town of Seckau via a short circular route, this captivating themed trail (created by the network “Steirische Literaturpfade des Mittelalters“ - Styrian Literature Trails of the Middle Ages) introduces its audience to the unique Month’s Rules of Seckau – a small but interesting wealth of knowledge that once served to maintain one’s health in an easy yet effective way. The circular route following a clock-wise pattern leads along Gartenweg towards Marktgasse. The last station is located at the St. Luzia chapel. Tip: Combine your walk with a visit to Seckau Abbey.
