Description

From the town center along the Ybbstal cycle path to the junction in the direction of Bromau. Via Pfennigtor and a forest path you reach the Jörgl Chapel. The chapel is around 500 years old and stands on an old mule track in the middle of the forest. The spring, which almost always carries water, used to be used by horse-drawn carts transporting ore. The water is said to have healing powers for the eyes. In 1971, the almost dilapidated chapel was renovated and has since been a gem in this region, which is not visited very often.

Return via the Großbreitental valley to the Ybbs and the last few meters back home on the Ybbstal cycle path.
