Barbarabad Circular Trail 

Round walk from Friesach to St. Salvator and back along the River Olsa

Short overview
The Barbarabad Circular Trail is a scenic loop walk of about 13.3 km with roughly 160 metres of ascent and descent and an average walking time of around 3¾ hours. Starting in the medieval town of Friesach, the route leads via the former Barbarabad spa to the Iris Porsche Country Hotel in St. Salvator, continues through St. Stefan, Guldendorf and Judendorf, and returns along the River Olsa to Friesach. 

It is a gentle day walk that combines historical townscapes, forest paths and quiet river sections.
