Hiking tour Starting from Lengenfeld Municipal Office
The parish church dedicated to St. Pancratius originates from a castle chapel. The first documented mention of the village (1133/38) seems to have marked the beginning of more intensive settlement. As there was no space for further development on the church hill, the settlement began to develop along the Bachsenke. Prangerplatz emerged as a further focal point with the acquisition of the district court (around 1602). At that time, the old market fortifications probably already existed, the remains of which are still preserved today in the so-called Biritor. The town and the castle in particular are closely linked to the history of modern art in Austria. The Hauer-Fruhmann family of artists acquired Lengenfeld Castle in 1970 and turned it into a center of modern art.
The wine cellar lanes typical of the wine-growing regions should not be forgotten. The two largest are Dornergasse and Heiligengasse (actually Johannesgasse). Others include Annagasse, Kollerweg and Mühlfeldgasse.
The trail begins at the municipal office. It leads past the municipal event hall via several flights of stairs. From here, a steep path leads up the Schickenberg. Passing a small children’s playground and the “Josefi Marterl,” the trail continues toward “Bieglberg.” At a Wasserstube (agricultural water reservoir), turn left onto a dirt road. This road runs along “den Grund.” You’ll now cross a road with little traffic and, after 100 m, take a sharp left onto another dirt road. On your left, the cultivated fields of a “Demeter” herb garden stretch out. On your right is the Koreska Icelandic horse farm. The trail now continues toward the forest. The hike continues on the soft forest floor, past a fallow deer enclosure. Now take a sharp right onto a paved farm road. Cross the bridge over the B 37 to return to a forest path. You are now in the forests managed by the Federal Forest Service. Before the gate, a path about 500 m long leads along a stream. At the end of the path, you’ll see an apiary on the left. After about 100 m, you’ll reach the edge of the village. Now you have a choice: one path leads steeply uphill along a paved farm road, and the other heads toward the “Bründlkapelle.” If you choose the first, steeper route with a great view of Lengenfeld, you’ll see the paddocks of the NPT Ranch (Natural Horse Training) on your right. The trail continues past vineyards and fields before you reach another paved path. After crossing a street, walk along Annagasse. Passing cellars—some of which seem to disappear into the rock—you’ll reach the town’s residential area. If you follow the arrows, you’ll find yourself at “Prangerplatz.” After about 200 m, you’ll return to the starting point.
If you chose the “Bründlkapelle” at the fork, turn sharply right after about 50 m and cross the bridge over the Sirnitzbach. You’ll then come to a landscaped wetland habitat. The “Bründlkapelle” is on your left.
After about 200 m, turn left. Finally, the trail descends steeply into Frauenberggasse. Keep to the right, cross the bridge over the Sirnitzbach, and after 30 m you’ll be on Gföhler Straße. Walk past “Prangerplatz” on the right toward the starting point of your hike.
