Maria Anzbach is a place of pilgrimage with a long history and impressive scenery. The renovated market square in the center of Maria Anzbach is home to the "Zum Goldenen Löwen" inn, which has been in operation since 1779, the old schoolhouse and the Goldammer Museum. The artist has many exhibitions at home and abroad. The pilgrimage church "Maria Anzbach Zur Mutter der Barmherzigkeit" is a real eye-catcher. On this tour, you can explore the different landscapes of Maria Anzbach, each of which has its own charm. In the south of the municipality lies the 516m high Kohlreithberg, from where you can enjoy a fabulous view of the Anzbach valley from the newly erected Millennium Cross. In the north of the municipality lies the 469m high Buchberg, from where you can see from the Ötscher to the Waldviertel at the Buchbergwarte, which was rebuilt in 2004. The observatory is also home to many historical photos and several interactive display boards. Geologically, the mountain itself consists of the so-called Buchberg conglomerate - limestone and flysch boulders from the Limestone Alps. An outcrop near Burgstall makes this visible. When you hike around Maria Anzbach, you spend most of the time in semi-natural forest, dominated by copper beech and spruce. In places, the trail leads onto extensive pastures of the region's cattle and horse farms. Near the village of Hart and on the Eichberg, you will come across Roman burial mounds. The picturesque Rotes Kreuz wayside shrine, which stands in front of the Lengbachtal valley, invites you to take a break.

You start westward on the main street, then turn into Sportplatzpromenade and reach Eichengasse above the sports field. At the end of the development, you turn right and from there follow the red marking. The path leads into Birkengasse, then over a field path into Tulpengasse, and at the outskirts of Maria Anzbach into Johannesbergstraße. Here you must turn left to reach Burgstall via a forest path. There you follow the blue marking up to the summit. Here are the Buchberg lookout, offering a dreamy view, and a shelter. You return, keep left, and after about 500 m turn right onto a forest path. At its end, you march right, pass Oed and follow the blue marking at the village exit to the left and reach the summit of Eichberg after about 2 km. Then you pass barrows and arrive at Erlaa. At the end of the village, the path turns right and leads uphill into the forest. Here you arrive at the junction with access no. 1 to the Eichgrabener Höhenwanderweg, which you now follow downhill. This leads you to Martinstraße in Stein, follow the marking straight into Große Steinstraße, Klosterfriedhofstraße and finally via Klosterstraße to Furth. At the main road, turn right and walk on a footpath beside the road to Unter-Oberndorf. At the village entrance, cross the road and go left uphill into Huttenstraße. After about 1 km, you reach Ottenheim. At the next junction, turn left, then pass Burweg and arrive at Knagg. Here you follow the blue marking over Götzwiesen further to Kohlreith, where you turn right and reach the Kohlreith summit. After the beautiful view over the Anzbach valley, you return to the junction and go left, following the blue marking towards Hart.
