Augustine Way

Open
The hike leads, starting from the market Vorau, to the local mountain of Vorau, the Masenberg. There you will be offered a magnificent view over the East Styrian hill country.
The route length of about 10 km and the difference in altitude of about 600 meters are not noticeable, as you mainly concentrate on the magnificent view of the Joglland - Waldheimat region. The tour starts in Vorau, which is widely known for the Augustinian Canons' Monastery, which has existed for over 850 years.  The building itself alone is impressive and always worth a visit. The guided tours offered also invite you into the history of this canonical monastery.

 

The underworld around Vorau Abbey is also particularly interesting: the underground passages "Sub Terra Vorau" can also be explored on guided tours.

 

The monastery is also a reason why numerous pilgrimage paths start in Vorau or lead there. For this reason there is also a uniform signposting, this consists of yellow-red boards with the inscription Augustinusweg and pilgrim logo. The first sign is located at Vorau Abbey.
