Stations and Way of the Cross Maria Schönanger
From the monastery gate in St. Lambrecht, the spiritual hike leads over 14 Stations of the Cross to the pilgrimage chruch of Maria Schönanger. The place is considered a special place of power, which invites you to pause.
More than 200 years ago, Agnes Zechner took the decision to create a new image where a simple wooden cross had stood from time immemorial and to build a wooden chapel for it. The solemn consecration of the present church took place in 1833. About halfway from the monastery of St. Lambrecht to Maria Schönanger is the Angel's Well, whose water is said to have a healing effect on eye ailments.
