Route description From Klein-Mariazell in the Wienerwald to Altenmarkt

Our hike starts at the bus stop Klein Mariazell Abzweigung. From the bus stop we follow the signs towards the Klein-Mariazell Basilica to the north until we turn right onto the Leopold path. We follow the path and reach the basilica. We choose the right path in front of the basilica past the parking lot and follow the signs of the Via Sacra uphill. We reach the panorama circular path (right) and pass the Hüber cross to the red-marked path towards Hafnerberg. After a short break at the Druid stone, we walk downhill along the stations of the cross to the church at Hafnerberg. From there, we follow the signs toward Neuhaus, until we pass the inn "Zum Kleinen Semmering" and take the first side alley on the right. At the end of the alley, we reach a forest path which we first follow left and then straight downhill (red). We reach the Nöstach federal road, cross it and continue our way to Altenmarkt an der Triesting following the markings.

Safety information

Despite the most careful research, there may be unforeseen short-, medium- or even long-term closures on the routes (e.g. due to forestry restricted areas by landowners). Parking options recommended by us may be private or fee-based – please observe the local signage. Some paths may lead partly or entirely through paid areas (e.g. nature parks or gorges). However, this is usually explicitly pointed out in the description. All information is provided without guarantee and use of the paths is at your own risk. Any path closures and notices from hunters and landowners must be observed.
