Barbara Sicharter Way

Open
"In the footsteps of pilgrims and pilgrims" you hike on asphalt, field and forest paths from Vorau to Wenigzell - a great tour in the Joglland - Waldheimat region.
On this path, one learns interesting information about Barbara Sicharter, the founder of the order of St. Mary's Hospital Vorau. On the information boards along the way at the rest stops, selected Bible passages are designated, which invite you to reflect, linger and enjoy.The starting point of this trail is also well worth seeing: the Augustinian canons' monastery in Vorau is the only canons' monastery still active in Styria. Vorau Abbey delights visitors especially with its unique library and sacristy. This is also where the trail starts, also the first marking of the Barbara Sicharter Trail: yellow panels with inscription can be found here.Once you arrive in Wenigzell, there are numerous places to stop for refreshments. Widely known, for example, are the giant buns from the Buchtelbar.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
