The best MTB trails around Gornji Petrovci

A place to rest with a view over the vast landscape. Behind it, a crucifix. And when the sun is at the right angle, it's also shady.

A truly beautiful church. It dominates the main square and the townscape. It boasts a lovely, well-maintained forecourt and plenty of places to rest. The church itself is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus and was originally built before 1578. The church in its current form was erected in 1780 and has been a listed building since 2002. You'll also find several places to eat and drink nearby, on the main square.

A beautiful spot on the Raab River. You rarely see fords like this anymore. On the south side, you'll also find a bench for resting and what looks like a compass. Definitely a great tip from me. Magic place!

The thermal baths are quite large, but perfect for a family day out.

The history of this memorial goes back much further than the monuments to the fallen of the two World Wars, which can be found in almost every town and city and claimed so many lives in the first half of the 20th century. Here, the memorial commemorates the armed conflicts of the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Ottoman Empire, from the territory of present-day Turkey, conquered parts of the Balkans and advanced on Vienna. In 1529 and again in 1683, the army besieged the Austrian capital, which the Sultan called the "Golden Apple," but unsuccessfully on both occasions. However, even between these two more famous campaigns, there were hostile clashes between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires. Here at Mogersdorf, the imperial troops triumphed, ending the so-called Turkish War of 1663/64.

The parish church in St. Martin was originally built in 1746 on the remains of a medieval church. However, the church as it stands today on the hill was rebuilt between 1947 and 1973 after the building was severely damaged in World War II. The cemetery is located next to the church. Right next to the church, you'll also find plenty of places to rest. And it's well worth visiting the church interior.

Someone has clearly gone to great lengths to bring history to life here. Kudos! The excavated grave and its accompanying description are just as interesting as the three reconstructed burial mounds. And when you've had your fill of learning, you can also rest comfortably in the shade. Perfect!

In the shade of the three trees, there is not only a rest area with benches and tables, but also a carefully maintained small religious monument. Above the stone base rises the crucifix, the martyred body of the crucified Christ clearly standing out against the cross. At his feet is another statue, depicted in a much smaller proportion: the Virgin Mary, mourning with her suffering son and comforting him through her presence in his death throes.
