Open

This path connects the two churches in the municipality of Pernegg in the Almenland Nature Park: the Frauenkirche, a well-known pilgrimage church, and the parish church of St. Maximilian.

The municipality of Pernegg is located directly on the Mur, 10 km south of Bruck an der Mur and 40 km north of Graz. Pernegg is part of the Mur cycle path R2 and the Drachentour mountain bike route and is therefore a mecca for cyclists. With the Pernegg and Mixnitz train stations on the southern railway line, the community of Pernegg is the gateway to the Almenland.

This tour through the districts of Kirchdorf and Pernegg connects the two churches that dominate the townscape: The "Frauenkirche" in Pernegg is a well-known pilgrimage church with a baroque interior, the parish church on Kirchhügel in Kirchdorf is dedicated to St. Maximilian and is a late Gothic complex with defensive tower.
