Don't miss this wonderful section of the Lebensweg!
The Lebensweg is not a walk – rather an expedition. An expedition to yourself and through nature. Along the 13 stages, countless nature experiences and interactive stations await to be discovered. To consciously perceive and reflect on life – that is the goal of the Lebensweg. What was before the here and now, which life phases were carefree in hindsight, and where perhaps not everything went according to plan? What will the future bring, and where will it continue when I am no longer on this earth? All these questions find enough space and room along the path. Those who need a break from themselves in between are amazed by countless nature highlights like the Ysperklamm or the Kremstal Canyon. The path, laid out in a figure-eight loop, was created by combining the Ysper-Weitental circular hiking trail no. 22 with the Kremstalweg no. 625 and connects 28 places from 23 municipalities: Laimbach – Peilstein – Hofamt Priel (municipal area) – Nöchling – St. Oswald – Yspertal – Ysperklamm – Dorfstetten – Bärnkopf – Gutenbrunn – Martinsberg – Roggenreith – Kirchschlag – Kottes – Els – Albrechtsberg – Lichtenau (municipal area) – Großreinprechts – Sallingberg – Ottenschlag – Bad Traunstein – Edlesberg – Martinsberg – Pöggstall – Braunegg – Raxendorf – Maria Laach – Weiten – Leiben – Artstetten – Maria Taferl – Reitern – Münichreith – Laimbach.
