    SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:

    St. Anthony Monastery
    The St. Anthony House is a former Franciscan monastery. It is located in the center of Grein near the Danube. The small residential community tries to walk an inner “pilgrimage to the sources of faith” following the example of St. Anthony and to discover the springs of life together with the guests: in the hour prayer, in the celebration of the liturgy, in silence, in conversation...


    For closed groups, reflection days or similar events are gladly organized. But above all, the St. Anthony House invites individuals all year round to days of silence, reflection, and a monastery vacation.

    • On the “Grein Donaublick Loop” I reflect on how I look, my size, my appearance, my face when I am happy, sad... my “demeanor”, my expression, my impact.
    • I look at the Danube's shore and try to catch my face/reflection – due to the movement of the current, this is not easy.

    Roadbook

    The circular route starts at the hiking info point at the Danube bank. We follow the Donausteig to the rest area at Kalvarienberg and the Gallery in Granite. After this detour with a magnificent view of the Danube and the town of Grein, we continue into Jubiläumstraße (left; the Donausteig continues right into Wienerweg). After 300 m we turn left (Mayrhoferweg). After another left curve, it goes down again towards the center. The street ends in Friedhofstraße, where we turn right and go under the railway. At the end of the street, we turn left (Grillparzerstraße) and after about 200 m turn right again (Stifterstraße). We now follow this street until we meet the Donausteig again. We follow it over the Mühlberg (rest area) to Grein, through Kreuznerstraße and via the castle park into the center. Over the town square and Donaugasse, we reach our starting point.
