Pedal with the soul: The Pilgrimage Tour combines a spiritual journey from Straßengel to Stübing with physical challenge and breathtaking scenery.

The pilgrimage begins at the main square in Straßengel, beneath the pilgrimage church Maria Straßengel. From there, head to Gratwein and onward to Stift Rein. After a scenic detour, you’ll reach the monastery before tackling the uphill stretch to Pleschwirt, where a well-earned break with stunning views and local dishes awaits.

Continue to St. Pankrazen, known for its Pankratius Church and delicious village fare. Then, cycle through the Stübing Valley to Kleinstübing, following the Mur Cycle Path to the open-air museum in Stübing.

Return via Gratkorn and the church district back to Straßengel.
