- Description
-
From Brunn am Gebirge railway station, the path leads along Enzersdorferstraße to Maria Enzersdorf. After passing the Franciscan Church (pilgrimage church "Maria Heil der Kranken"), turn right into Mariazellergasse. Passing the former Pfandl fountain, you come to Liechtensteinstraße, where you can see the park of Hunyadi Castle on the left and diagonally opposite the "Schiffersäule", the oldest pilgrimage monument on the way to Mariazell. At the end of Liechtensteinstraße, at a Mariazell motif donated by Emperor Ferdinand, you come across Johannesstraße, which you follow to the holiday cross chapel (01:00 h). This has always been an important reference point for Mariazell pilgrims. The trail now runs downhill to the Seegrotte and through Hinterbrühl (01:00 h). At the Höldrichsmühle mill, you turn onto a forest path that leads into the Mödlingbachtal valley, where you walk partly beside the road, partly on footpaths to Gaaden (01:45 h). From the Gaaden Jakobskirche (St. James' Church), the trail turns right along the road to the west to the Gaaden Calvary. The trail then continues along the road for a short distance and crosses it to the south. Now the pilgrims' path leads across fields and through the forest towards Siegenfeld and past the "White Cross" to Heiligenkreuz. Via the baroque Calvary you come down to the monastery (02:15 h).* Historically, the Via Sacra in Vienna begins at the Paulanerkirche. It used to lead via the Spinner am Kreuz into the Vienna Woods to Heiligenkreuz and on to Mariazell.
