This running route circles St. Lambrecht, allowing you to get to know the town and the monastery from a variety of perspectives.

A region in which daily life has been shaped by the Benedictines for around 950 years is, to a certain extent, brimming with culture and spirituality. But it's not just the Benedictines who have a positive impact on many things here, it's also the numerous people who are involved in clubs and thus form the cultural basis.
