Description
Suddenly, you are considered an adult, a full member of the society you were born into. You have gained the right to vote on many levels! What seemed so tempting has finally arrived. However, the “allowed” quickly turns into a “must”: You have to make decisions for yourself. You have completed or are just finishing your education. You earn your own money. You set goals. The world is open; you have all the possibilities! How much time and space is left for you?
- Route description On this stage, you look out over the land, see the villages, and can hike through several towns. In Kirchschlag, a visit to the pilgrimage church is recommended; from there you can walk leisurely to Kottes, where you have the opportunity to bathe in beer and taste an oat whisky. Afterwards, you pass through the villages of Marbach on the Kleine Krems and Klein Heinrichschlag before reaching the town of Els.
