Schlossberg Trails
The Schlossberg Trail, a footpath up to the top of the Schlossberg from the west, is now a prominent land¬mark of Graz. Five stairways, one above the other, with a total of 260 steps, connect Schlossbergplatz with the Clock Tower. On the initiative of the Association for the Beautification of the City, construction of the stairway started in spring 1914. After the out¬break of the First World War, construction work came to a halt before pioneers from the Graz Infantry Regiment No. 27 completed it in 1916. Prisoners of war were probably not involved. On 1 June 1918, it was officially opened under the name of ‘War Trail’. Between 1924 and 1928, it was extended by the ‘Anniversary Trail’ along the western rocky slopes.
