Description
The trail first takes you to the power point by the Danube bridge, an ideal place to take a break and reflect on life by the river. The trail continues to the Burgkircherl, another power point, which is lined with wayside shrines and prayer pillars and leads to the labyrinth. The labyrinth itself is an invitation to pause and find yourself. In the Pöstlinggraben, you can enjoy the splendor of the trees and recharge your batteries at the Rosalia cross power point. Another contemplative place is the parish church, where you can come to rest. The power of nature can be felt at the humming stone and invites you to linger. The steps of the Kolomanistiege provide a perfect place for a rest. The path ends at the power point in the market chapel, which rounds off the spiritual path and invites you to reflect.
