Spiritual path
Open
On this circular route you can always enjoy the view of the village and the St. Nicholas Church of Ratten.
After overcoming a steep section of the trail on hiking path 03, you can look at rats from above for the first time. The Christian signs along the way, with texts by Martin Gutl, invite you to linger and reflect.
At the vulgo "Röckhofer" not only the view, but also the remarkable lime tree, is worth a mention.
The existing wayside crosses and monuments lead one further to the "Prembauer" and down to the Nießnitz. Following the road along the stream, the path leads back to the parish church. This section is easily passable with a wheelchair as well as with a baby carriage. Along the way, more texts await contemplation and meditation.
The tranquility of the path through woods and meadows, the texts and also the walking and lingering let you push aside everyday life and achieve relaxation for body and soul.
