Brief description

Maria Taferl – Pargatsstetten – Kollnitzberg – Münichreith – Laimbach

Description

This closes the circle: back to the beginning and beyond. The ancestors, the grandparents, and the generations before them, their history and their way of life have shaped us. What remains of them? Serious-looking faces on arranged family photos, yellowed pictures? Stories and anecdotes?

Try to take your ancestors with you on this hiking day. Imagine their life, their childhood, their youth, their everyday life, their stages of life. Imagine your parents as their children. Hike your own story.

Through the forest to the next intersection point of the Lebensweg

Maria Taferl, a holy place, lies behind us. Via Pagartsstetten, it goes past Kollnitz to Münichreith. The short detour to Kollnitzberg is worth it; from the newly installed observation tower you are rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view. Afterwards, a locally brewed special beer awaits in Münichreith. Via Mayerhofen, past Zöbring, you then reach the destination of Laimbach.
