Tour through Straden (Straden Rundgang)
Open
Discover the history of Straden and immerse yourself in a bygone era. You can expect 8 display boards that offer insight into the past!
Along the circular route you will find 8 stations with themes related to the history of Straden. As the latest excavations prove, there was around 3000 BC on the Stradener Berg a hill-top settlement. A few burial mounds around Straden indicate a dense settlement in the provincial Roman period (15 BC-476 AD). In the Middle Ages, Straden was a center of colonization progressing eastward. The parish covered more than 300 km² until the regulation under Emperor Joseph II. The large crowds of people at the numerous church festivals made Straden an important market and place of pilgrimage.

Directions
The Straden tour starts at the parking place opposite the Raiffeisenbank Straden. From here we follow the path up the sidewalk in the direction of Himmelsberg. Before we reach the Himmelsberg we find the first information boards on our left. Here you can learn about the prehistoric development of the region. The path leads us further up - past the pizzeria we reach the Himmelsberg. Here the path divides - once to the De Merin grocery store, next to the Sebastiani Church - and once to the gallery in the church wall "Straden once and now" and next to the parish church and Sebastiani Church on the 'Kirchberg/Himmelsberg/Burgberg' from Straden.

Der Straden Rundgang startet im Parkplatz gegenüber der Raiffeisenbank Straden. Von hier aus folgen wir dem Weg am Gehweg in Richtung Himmelsberg hinauf. Bevor wir den Himmelsberg erreichen, finden wir schon die ersten Informationstafeln auf unserer linken Seite. Hier erfahren Sie die urgeschichtliche Entwicklung der Region. Der Weg führt uns nun weiter nach oben - vorbei an der Pizzeria gelangen wir auf den Himmelsberg. Hier teilt sich der Weg - einmal zur Greißlerei De Merin mit der Tafel "Lebensgrundlagen", weiter zur Sebastianikirche - und einmal zur Galerie in der Kirchenmauer "Straden einst und jetzt" und weiter zur Pfarrkirche und Sebastianikirche am 'Kirchberg/Himmelsberg/Burgberg' von Straden.
Einkehrschwung beim DeMerin am Stradener Himmelsberg machen!
