- We walk past the themed gardens on the left and up the steps to the pilgrimage church.
- From here, we follow the signposts for the Pankratiusweg via the main square, the access road to the village until we reach the junction with the chapel.
- At the chapel, we keep left and walk approx. 200 metres along the L431 to the next crossroads with the signpost "Hartberg" and the signpost for the Pankratiusweg and the red-white-red long-distance hiking trail no. 943.
