Pilgrim walks in Lassing

St. Hemma was born around 980 as Countess of Friesach-Zeltschach; charity and philanthropy made her well-known among the population. With her wealth, she also founded the Benedictine monasteries of Gurk and Admont. The latter houses the largest monastery library in the world - and is always worth a visit.

Under the patronage of Saint Hemma, today’s route leads from Lassing along the so-called “Schattenberg Hiking Trail” through the villages of Wieden, Schattenberg, Ödstein, and Stein to Döllach. Our next destination is Irdning. To reach our stage destination in Donnersbachwald, we follow hiking trail no. 4. Upon arriving at the church, it is time to say: Bravo, you made it!

Our first stage of the day takes us from the unique Admont Abbey along the salt trail to Zirnitz. We continue over the pass of the same name to Frauenberg and then towards Selzthal. From here, we continue our pilgrimage to the "Heiligen Bründl" and Strechau Castle. We end the tour in Lassing.
