Municipal boundary path Maria Anzbach

Popis

Maria Anzbach is a pilgrimage site with a long history and impressive landscape. At the renovated market square in the center of Maria Anzbach are the inn "Zum Goldenen Löwen", which has been run since 1779, the old schoolhouse, and the Goldammer Museum. The artist has held many exhibitions at home and abroad. A highlight is the pilgrimage church "Maria Anzbach Zur Mutter der Barmherzigkeit". On this route, you can explore the different landscapes of Maria Anzbach, each of which has its own charm. To the south of the municipality is the 516m high Kohlreithberg, from where you can enjoy a fabulous view of the Anzbach valley at the newly erected Millennium Cross. To the north of the municipality is the 469m high Buchberg, where at the Buchberg lookout tower rebuilt in 2004, you can see from the Ötscher to the Waldviertel. The lookout also houses many historical photos and some interactive display panels. Geologically, the mountain itself consists of the so-called Buchberger conglomerate - limestone and flysch pebbles from the Limestone Alps. An outcrop at Burgstall makes this visible. When hiking around Maria Anzbach, you mostly walk through natural forest where the European beech and spruce dominate. In places, the path passes through extensive pastures of the cattle and horse farms in the region. Near the village of Hart and on the Eichberg, you encounter Roman-era barrow graves. For resting, the picturesque wayside shrine Rotes Kreuz invites you, which stages itself in front of the Lengbach valley.
