Popis
On this route of variant C, we pilgrimage on the first stage starting from Pöstlingberg in Linz to St. Florian. From here, we do not continue along the classic route of the Mariazell path but branch off towards the town of Haag, from where it goes to Sonntagberg. Via St. Leonhard im Wald, we thus reach the smithing center Ybbsitz and meet again the original course of the Mariazell path, which we follow over Maria Seesal, Lunz am See, Lackenhof, and Mitterbach to Mariazell.
Those who want to pilgrimage from Pöstlingberg to the "Magna Mater Austriae" in Mariazell should prepare well and plan the route precisely. After all, over 170 kilometers have to be mastered and partly alpine terrain is covered. The highest point is the Ötscher, whose summit does not have to be climbed directly, but the Riffelsattel at an altitude of 1,283 meters also represents a physical challenge.
