Details for: Magdalenenweg Emmersdorf
Brief description
This spiritual route connects 12 different power spots and historical sights along the way, which together convey the history of Emmersdorf.
Description
The path first takes you to the power spot at the Danube bridge, an ideal place for a break to reflect on life by the river. Then it continues to the Burgkircherl, another power spot lined with wayside shrines and prayer pillars up to the labyrinth. The labyrinth itself is an invitation to pause and self-reflect. In the Pöstlinggraben you can enjoy the splendor of the trees and recharge at the Rosaliakreuz power spot. Another contemplative place is the parish church, where you can find peace. At the sound stone, the power of nature becomes palpable and invites you to linger. The steps of the Kolomanistiege offer a perfect spot for a rest. The end of the route is the power spot in the market chapel, which rounds off the spiritual path and invites inner reflection.
