route planner
- We start our pilgrimage at the Mariatrost Basilica. First we go up the stairs and then a short distance next to the road. We then turn left onto the Tullriegel and follow the Lichtensteinweg.
- Along the road we find again and again the markings for the pilgrim's path. We follow the signs and come to our second stop after the Sternwirt.
- We continue to Nadischhöhe. Here we take the high trail to Faßlberg and follow the signs towards Kumberg. Before the serpentines we turn left into the forest and follow the signs to the church in Kumberg. Here is already the third stop.
- Continue through the village towards Kumberg lake and then back into the forest. We continue to follow the signs and walk both in the forest and a small piece of asphalt. Soon we reach the station 4.
- Further over the forest and meadow path we follow the signs in the direction of Gschwendt. Here we walk along the road again for a short distance and soon we enter the forest again. After a short time we already reach the Stoffmühle and follow the pilgrimage path through the small Raabklamm. There we meet the station number 5.
- We follow the Raabklamm to the junction Weiz/Oberdorf. Here we turn left and follow the signs. After a short time we can already see the town of Weiz and after a few minutes we reach station number 6, the church of Tabor.
- Now the path leads us through the old town of Weiz. We follow the signs through the Europaallee and along the cross path up to station number 7 the Basilica on the Weizberg. We have reached our destination and can still look at the other spiritual points on the Weizberg.
