    A beautiful walk through the market Vorau, which has a lot to offer for culture enthusiasts due to the two churches (Market Church and Cross Church).

    The path leads through the beautiful market Vorau, along the sidewalk, past many benches, Materln and the unique Kreuzkirche. This pilgrimage trail is also recommended in winter.

    Interesting to know: Vorau had 330 years the right and duty to be "blood plaintiff" and "blood judge" for intentional committed major crimes - remains of the gallows from this time can still be seen!

    Author’s recommendation

    We recommend a visit to Vorau Abbey and the open-air museum.

    A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

    Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

    Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

    Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

    In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

     Small backpack with water bottle (+ provisions)

    Sturdy shoes

    Appropriate clothing - if possible several layers - "onion principle".

    Rain and sun protectionWalking sticks as required

    Mobile phone

    Small first aid kit

    Route description

    Before starting the hike, check the possibilities for refreshments, including opening times, or pack appropriate food and drink.
