Two-part hiking trail that leads trail seekers to the oldest and most significant small monuments of Saalfelden

Countless wayside shrines, crosses, image pillars, wells and guild signs cross the paths through the small town of Saalfelden. Many forget that these small monuments are almost all connected with destinies. With joy and sorrow, success and failure, hope and hardship. To pass on the meaning of these monuments to hikers, some of these memorials were connected into two routes and explained with signs.

Author’s recommendation

Museum Schloss Ritzen

The basis for the small monuments hiking trail was the book "Saalfelden – its small monuments by the wayside" by Peter Innerhofer and his two sons Thomas and Stefan, published in 2002. This book is available at the Museum Schloss Ritzen in Saalfelden.

Roadbook

The small monuments hiking trail divides into two paths. The first path leads to the Saalfelden/Ramseiden district, is 4.3 km long and relatively flat with only 68 m elevation. The second goes towards Ritzensee – this one is a bit more demanding at 6.4 km and 163 m elevation. The starting point for both walking paths is Florianiplatz in the middle of Saalfelden, where some of the many monuments can be admired right at the beginning (e.g., Florianibrunnen or the guild sign of the Kelderer bakery).
