OÖ Mariazellerweg: C: 2nd stage: St. Florian - Haag

Popis

From the impressive St. Florian Monastery, we start this hike by passing through the so-called Jubilee Avenue. The monastery quickly becomes smaller in the distance and we reach the hill at Kogl, where there is a beautiful rest area and a chapel, as well as an old forest with mighty oaks. At Unterweidlham, we pass the locally typical four-sided farms in the gentle hilly landscape and walk along a tree-lined creek until we reach a hamlet with the interesting name "Plank zu Mausbach." Here, at a crossroads, there is a chapel and a monument (erected in honor of the 1700th anniversary of the death year of the regional patron Florian). After a longer hike through the sparsely populated areas around St. Florian, we finally arrive at Hausmanning and from there take a beautiful forest path to Hargelsberg. Opposite the parish church of Hargelsberg, dedicated to Saint Andreas, there is a beautiful garden with seating that invites the tired pilgrim to rest. Along the Chapel Path, we reach Kronstorf, characterized by riparian forests. The market town has about 3000 inhabitants and was first mentioned in records in 834 as "Granesdorf." It is interesting that the world-famous composer Anton Bruckner spent two years of his life, from 1843 to 1845, as a school assistant in Kronstorf (building directly below the church). Cheerfully, we set off again and head toward Enns. At the Enns power plant, we cross the bridge and continue to the town center of Ernsthofen. The church in Ernsthofen, an early Baroque hall church, originally stood on the bank of the Enns, was dismantled in 1662 and rebuilt at its current location. Above the church begins a wonderful hiking trail through bright deciduous forest, which takes us high above the town of Ernsthofen and offers us great views of the route traveled so far and the Enns river. Passing several beautiful chapels, the trail leads down into a hollow near Weinzierl, after which the final sprint (unfortunately along the federal road) to Haag begins. In the town of Haag, the hardships are quickly forgotten when seeing the late Gothic fortified church built between 1432 and 1485. Particularly active travelers can end the day with a visit to the animal park (next to Salaberg Castle).
