The Wasserweg is a hiking and pilgrimage trail that mainly follows forest and field paths and runs, for the most part, through shady forests and along the banks of the Saubach. The Saubach separates the districts of Maria Bild and Krobotek and also serves as the boundary stream between the two municipalities of Weichselbaum and Mogersdorf. The trail has long served as a pilgrimage route for pilgrims traveling to Maria Bild and is lined with pilgrimage stations and numerous places for meditation in the midst of nature. These invite you to pause and let go, so you can recharge your strength and renew your energy.

Author’s recommendation

Water, the source of life, will be your companion. An idyllic path along the stream leads you right into the heart of the beautiful cultural landscape.

Roadbook

The starting point is the Maria Bild pilgrimage church. From here, the trail—marked with blue signs—first leads through the village and then along forest and field paths toward Saubach.

The trail continues through shaded forest sections and along the Saubach stream. Along the way, you’ll pass several pilgrimage stations and quiet spots that invite you to linger and reflect. The Saubach stream runs alongside the trail for long stretches and also forms the border between the municipalities of Weichselbaum and Mogersdorf.

Via additional forest and field paths, the loop eventually leads back toward Maria Bild. Along the route is also the “Funcourt,” a playground and recreation area that’s particularly well-suited for a break with children.

Finally, the trail leads back to the Maria Bild pilgrimage church, the starting point of the hike.
