Maria-Schönanger-Way

The starting point for the hike is the St. Lambrecht Abbey Gate. We walk along the abbey walls for a while and turn right at the first opportunity. We follow the road uphill and go straight ahead at the two intersections. At the fork in the road, we keep to the left and follow the ascending road. At the next junction, we keep to the left again and then go straight ahead. Now we follow the gravel path, which leads us across the ski slope and later into the forest. After about one kilometer, we reach the Engelsbrunnen fountain. From here on, the Stations of the Cross accompany us to the Maria Schönanger pilgrimage church.
The way back is the same as the way there until we reach the Engelsbrunnen fountain, then we turn right onto a narrow forest path. We follow this path downhill. It leads us to Neuhof. We walk past it and back towards the monastery. When we reach the main road, we turn left at the first opportunity towards Pabstin and walk along the path on the left past the Pabstinteich pond and via the Pichlhof farm back to our starting point.
