Pilgrim walks in Vorderstoder

Along the Klauser Lake, the route initially goes to St. Pankraz. From St. Pankraz, one follows the Steyr river upstream and passes the Stromboding Waterfall. Then it continues to Hinterstoder and then over gentle forest and meadow ridges to the picturesque Vorderstoder. Everywhere there are views of the magnificent mountains of the Totes Gebirge and the mountains of the Kalkalpen National Park.

The stage leads from the sunny location of Vorderstoder over the hilly landscape of the Hutterer side to Hinterstoder. The pilgrim is accompanied by the view of the Tote Gebirge with its impressive Prieler mountains. In the wildly romantic gorge of the Steyr, follow downstream the Flötzersteig or simultaneously the "Salzsteigweg." You pass through St. Pankraz, cross the Teichl, and reach the Kalkalpen National Park over a small hill. The Klauser Reservoir accompanies the pilgrim on the left side up to the eponymous place with a castle and mountain church.

We start in picturesque Vorderstoder and come over gentle hills to Roßleithen, where you can make the highly rewarding detour to the Pießling source, the largest karst spring of the Eastern Alps. Later, you pass by Gleinkersee and walk to Windischgarsten. From Edlbach, the route goes over a gentle ridge to Spital am Pyhrn with its imposing former collegiate church.

Starting from the former collegiate foundation Spital am Pyhrn, the stage initially leads along many meadow and forest paths into the Oberwenger hilly landscape and to Windischgarsten, from there to the tranquil Gleinkersee and then immediately to the natural spectacle of the Pießling spring. From there it goes to Roßleithen and again via forest tracks, forest and meadow paths to Vorderstoder with a magnificent view of the striking Stoderkamm rocks of the Totes Gebirge.
