walking on Jakobus way

Today we took a hike around "Jakobus Weg" (Jacobus trail). It's a 10km long round way around the village of Turnau in Austria, Steiermark (Styria). The Church in the center of the village is named Jakobus and gives the name to the way. Basically the trail is an aggregation of a few walk and hiking trails. It not that demanding, but good shoes are a must, no matter the weather conditions.

The way is mostly along forest roads but on some passages you can choose to take a side path

The view towards the valley Turnau is in, looking direction north west

Along the way is a view point with a map of the surrounding mountain tops,

and this cute place

Mountain top to the center of the heart, is the Zöberer Höhe. A special place to me. It was my grandfather's favorite mountain (we hiked it quite times), and he also died there in his favorite place.

The trail ends at the Jakobus church

Wish you all a healthy and great new year!
