HWW-Hiking route: Dechantskirchen - Heiligenbrunn - Kroisbach (circular trail)

This HWW hiking route is part of the Wechselland Historical Long-Distance Hiking Trail (HWW), which tells the story of Wechselland along more than 100 HWW stations. More information can be found at www.wechsel-wandern.at.
This HWW hiking route runs from Dechantskirchen to Thalberg, Limbach and Heiligenbrunn and from there via Kroisbach back to Dechantskirchen. The special significance of Dechantskirchen and Thalberg Castle can be explored as part of this RWW. The Christianization of Wechselland is explained at the HWW station Dechantskirchen/Kirche 2, as it is the oldest parish church in Wechselland.
