St. Aegyd am Neuwalde - Gscheid - Walstern - Mariazell
The forest ditch of the Unrechttraisen leads to the Kernhofer Gscheid (03:30 h). From St. Aegyd it is also possible to reach the Gscheid via Kernhof. After the Gscheid there is a stretch of road, after which you turn into a forest road and cross the Krumbachsattel into the Walstertal (junction with the Falkenschluchtweg from Türnitz). The trail continues along the Hubertussee (on asphalt) to the Bruder-Klaus-Kirche (02:30 h). From here, walk westwards in the Walstertal valley to the turn-off to the moderately strenuous Habertheuersattel. Once there, descend to the Sebastianiweg and Rosenkranzweg trails and continue along these to the Mariazell Gnadenkirche (03:15 h from Walstern).
Walking times: The indicated walking times were calculated based on the German Alpine Club’s table. These are pure walking times, rounded to the next quarter hour.
Appropriate hiking equipment is required. Additionally, it should be noted that this is a multi-day hike.
