Der Mariazeller Gründerweg verbindet das Benediktinerstift St. Lambrecht im Naturpark Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen und die Basilka in Mariazell. Aufgrund seiner zum Teil doch recht anspruchsvollen Etappen und Höhenunterschiede ist er nur für erfahrene Pilger, Wallfahrer und Weitwanderer geeignet. Neben kulturhistorischen Höhepunkten, wie das St. Lambrecht und die Abtei Seckau, erwartet uns auch eine einmalige Naturlandschaft, die uns für all die körperlichen Mühen entlang dieses Pilgerweges entschädigen wird.

The Mariazeller Gründerweg (Mariazell Founders' Trail) connects the Benedictine Abbey of St. Lambrecht in the Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park and the Basilka in Mariazell. Due to its sometimes quite demanding stages and differences in altitude, it is only suitable for experienced pilgrims, pilgrimage travellers and long-distance hikers. In addition to cultural and historical highlights, such as St Lambrecht and Seckau Abbey, a unique natural landscape awaits us, which will compensate us for all the physical exertion along this pilgrimage route.
