Franziskusweg Weinviertel

Popis

28 locations in the small region southern Weinviertel are included in the route with about 135 kilometers, which leads through three deaneries of the Archdiocese of Vienna, respectively two political districts. It is quite manageable for classic walkers in a holiday week and presents the beautiful southern Weinviertel. The recommended circular route starts in Bad Pirawarth, but it is possible to 'get on and off' at any of the 28 locations at any time. To admire are the vastness of the Lower Austrian Marchfeld, which meets the gently rolling and diversely cultivated landscape of the Weinviertel with its unique cellar lanes and barn paths. Hiking through the varied landscape, lively bird song in open nature ... that refreshes body and soul. Weinviertel delicacies and an excellent drop of fine wine contribute to this.

Accompanied on the way:

The main route is signposted in one direction (partly supplemented by stickers). The connecting routes for smaller rounds are marked on both sides with stickers. Please note: generally signs or markings can be missing or twisted despite maintenance. Alongside the map material in the route brochure, we offer detailed route descriptions and GPX files for mobile companions. Church steeples also help you to orient yourself locally. If you really stray from the path, you only need to locate your current position on your phone to navigate to the next destination via your phone. Our places are usually only a few km apart, so you should quickly find your way back to the next church and thus back on the right path.

Audioguide: Via phone you can download the app Hearonymus and all sound files for free. If you want, a story forms in your mind: the young Klara enthusiastically explains special features of the places in our region along the way and tells of our 'Weinviertler Sea' – and Francis tells of his life and compares his conversion experience with that of St. Paul. He reports on practical faith experience, on belief in the one loving God worshiped by all three major world religions. Additionally, he gives spiritual impulses, guides to healing meditations and invites reflection. – Klara, in turn, lets us relive the traditional '7 Rusten Pilgrimage', for example.
