Pilgrim walks in Perg

At almost 30 kilometers, the fourth stage of the Way of St. James is quite a "Hatscher", as the Upper Austrians would say. Nevertheless, the route, much of which runs along the Danube cycle path, is also particularly beautiful.

The "green" third stage of the Way of St. James in the Mostviertel region takes us from the banks of the Danube up to Strengberg and on through the typical Mostviertel landscape with square farms and fruit trees to St. Pantaleon-Erla. For most of the stage, we hike along secluded paths and through fields, as well as along the riparian forests of the Danube, before finally arriving in the busier area around Pyburg/Mauthausen at the end of our stage.

Up and down the hills, this section of the Way of St. James leads us through the largely agricultural landscape of the Mostviertel region. Across pastures, through corn fields and along the beautiful Danube, we make a pilgrimage from the pilgrimage basilica Maria Taferl to Linz to the Pöstlingberg and enjoy the tranquillity of the Mostviertel cultural landscape for long stretches.
