Section of the Hemma Pilgrimage Route
Experience a section of the famous
Hemma Pilgrimage Route.
Along the way, you should not only turn your gaze inward, otherwise you will miss the wonderful view from the Petelinz viewpoint. On the way, you can visit the Hemma Rock in Guntschach. The hike leads you through idyllic forest paths to the beautiful pilgrimage church of Maria Rain. The Maria Rain section of the pilgrimage route ends after a short detour through the village west of the Stifterkogel at the municipal boundary. Here you must decide: to leave the good Lord alone or to continue the pilgrimage route. Who knows, maybe you have acquired a taste for it?
