Winter hike Heiligenbrunn Runde

On this hike you will find fullness in simplicity, because it leads you to two special places of power. Shortly after the start, you will reach the Capuchin monastery, which is over 400 years old. After a quiet rest in the church, you walk on to Altirdning. There, hidden in the forest, is Heiligenbrunn - a Celtic cult site with a chapel and fountain, from which healing spring water (especially for the eyes) flows in warmer seasons.

After the start, go uphill for a short distance, where you turn right at the intersection. Shortly after, the road divides again, here you keep left and walk slightly uphill to the Capuchin monastery. You will come to another intersection, where you keep to the right and then walk past the monastery downhill to the intersection of the main road. Here you cross the road and continue walking in the direction of Altirdning. In the small center of Altirdning you turn left just after the old forge over a small bridge and turn right at the next intersection. From here, keep going straight until you reach the end of the village. From there the path leads into the forest to Heiligenbrunn. After the power place, the path goes down a staircase to the road. Be careful when crossing. Then left, continue a short distance before the path turns right into a dirt road to the Enns. Along the Enns and then back to the town center to the starting point.

From the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) at the Trautenfels junction or in Wörschach turn off in the direction of Irdning, Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald and continue to the center of Irdning.
