The pilgrimage trail leads from Gallizien via Abriach and an access road to the power plant house on the Drava River. The trail continues south of the Drava River along shady forest paths to Trieblach and St. Margareten im Rosental (Gallizien - St. Margareten: approx. 9.5 km), whereby the trail climbs steadily at the beginning and you cover several meters in altitude. From St. Margareten you hike over the farmsteads vulgo Bauch, Humer and the Gotschuchenweg to the campsite Rosental Roz and from there to the Drau river, where you follow the bike path along the dam to the west for the next kilometers to Glainach (St. Margareten - Glainach: approx. 10 km). From here, follow the Drau cycle path to Ferlach, where you first cross the Waidischbach stream and then reach the Grießbach stream, before which you turn left into the center of Ferlach and walk into the town (Glainach - Ferlach: approx. 5 km).

You should take enough food with you on this day's stage, as there is only a grocery store on the way in St. Margareten im Rosental (note: closed at lunchtime) and a place to stop for refreshments northwest of the village at the Rosental Roz campsite. The Kramer inn in St. Margareten and the Antonitsch inn in Glainach, both popular places to stop for refreshments on this route, have now closed!
At high water, it is advisable to cross the Waidischbach at Ferlach on the road bridge. To do this, you have to leave the cycle path to the left, i.e. heading south, and walk approx. 400 m to the main road.
