Brief description

Martinsberg – Pöggstall – Braunegg – Raxendorf

Description

So many years you longed for it, retirement. Later, you said, then in retirement you finally have time for all those things you were always busy with otherwise. But suddenly it is here, being retired, and quite a few fresh retirees experience a true retirement shock. As if ending work threw you into a deep hole. What to do with all that time? Without the usual time structures? Even if this period is still far ahead of you – try to feel what it is like to look back gratefully and forward optimistically.

Route description Lebensweg - Stage 10: 60 - 75 years: health / physicality / retirement?

In Martinsberg, you walk down over the meadow and sawmill into the valley, pass Annagschmais and already have Pöggstall Castle in view. It is immediately noticeable that it is a few degrees warmer here in the valley. But it doesn't stay "down here": it quickly goes uphill to Braunegg, then back down to Raxendorf. There, the bathing pond provides cooling.
