More information
Pöllauberg, Hotel Muhr
- Starting from the Hotel Muhr, we walk along the access road in a southerly direction until we come to a dirt track that leads away from the municipal road to the left into the forest. Following the markings, we reach the "Panoramablick" viewpoint.
- Here we keep left again and reach the municipal road via the high-level path towards Masenberg. Now we walk downhill towards Pöllau until we reach the crossroads to the farms of the Harb, Maierhofer and Schweighofer families and turn in their direction.
- Between the Maierhofer family home and stables, the marked hiking trail leads us along nature trails and paths to the Gleichweit family farm, where we continue along the municipal road until shortly before the Grabner family farm. Here we take two sharp left turns in quick succession and continue through forests and past fields and meadows to the Pöllauberg - Masenberg country road. We keep to the right and immediately come to the crossroads via which we reach the place of pilgrimage.
- From the pilgrimage church in Pöllauberg via the steps at the west portal, we choose hiking trail 942 and pass the Calvary to reach Pöllau.
A wide range of culinary establishments await us in Pöllau.
Timetables and travel information can be found at Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) or at Verkehrsauskunft Verbundlinie.
