--- title: Church path url: "https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/170515/church-path.html" description: "The starting point is the main church in Lochen. The high altar is a baroque masterpiece by the famous sculptor Meinrad Guggenbichler from Mondesee from 1709. The route continues via Feldbach, Petersham and Reitsham to the Gebertsham branch church with its famous winged altar by the master Gordian Guckh. This branch church is owned by the municipality of Lochen and is very popular as a wedding and christening church. The marvellous viewpoint over the Salzburg lake landscape on this hill invites you to enjoy peace and quiet. From Gebertsham, the route continues via Wichenham to Astätt to the Astätt branch church (branch church of St John the Baptist). Since its renovation in 1985, this church has been a jewel of baroque interior design. The return journey is via the \"Kirchenweg\" road back to Lochen (approx. 9km)." date: 2017-02-22 modified: 2026-03-18 --- # Church path Church path ============= **Starting place:** 5221 Lochen **Destination:** 5221 Lochen ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/237633/AF728B410EDE820A8E4F9A377CFE6C8F779B3B8983D1D428A39BE8B3B69D0AD4/wandern-in-oberoesterreich.jpg) © Open copyright © OÖ Tourismus Hochhauser Close copyright [ ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/237633/AF728B410EDE820A8E4F9A377CFE6C8F779B3B8983D1D428A39BE8B3B69D0AD4/wandern-in-oberoesterreich.jpg "© OÖ Tourismus Hochhauser") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/237633/AF728B410EDE820A8E4F9A377CFE6C8F779B3B8983D1D428A39BE8B3B69D0AD4/wandern-in-oberoesterreich.jpg) Stadtplatz 2 5280 Braunau am Inn [ open in Google Maps ](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Stadtplatz%202%2C%205280%20Braunau%20am%20Inn "Link will open in a new window") [ Open in Apple Maps ](https://maps.apple.com/place?address=Stadtplatz%202%2C%205280%20Braunau%20am%20Inn "Link will open in a new window") ![](https://static.ecmaps.de/staticmap.jpg?experience=webarchitektur-meta&width=991&height=450&project=ttg-basemap&path=enc:el_dHsimoAh@BTl@Jd@Ph@Vl@^j@b@l@f@j@h@p@n@bAZp@Vr@b@pAZ|@h@fAd@t@b@f@j@p@`@b@`BvA|AhBhAlAd@d@Lt@VXb@DzAo@L|AOp@Qn@@\Dh@@l@IdAWdA[bAzAhLxAfL~@vGHHJBnJeCfGy@bABhAPrEWh@[RKl@B\HrAj@b@DtGy@nAQrAKvA@x@C`Cl@zDj@T?hB{Ab@S`@xAhAzG^jAj@~@~@x@zC~@l@h@^f@v@~A~A|BdDhFd@v@n@r@xBbBl@h@h@r@f@lAj@`BnAtCvAjCbFhJjAzBf@dAR|@BdBEvCC|Dm@HUb@Eb@PpALfAAnBO`Aa@x@k@d@s@N}@AcCaAi@i@Uk@k@}Ay@aC_@q@_@Qg@Ei@Ai@O_@_@_@o@Yy@c@e@k@EmA^kBp@cAVu@Eq@_@_AWqAKmBEsBViBTgAJi@Wu@y@w@y@iAwAcA[{A[eAg@e@[e@a@eCoEqBaDaBuByBaBYG[E}@CuFNaAPmBjAwB~@q@d@mAvBuAhAy@d@k@V}CJgE_ByC_AkBQoFcC_NuAuB@c@Yc@WqA{@A_AL]Pg@PsAP]\[RYJs@HsAFoGDcBoBsK{DkT}A{Iy@wEAs@PwE?cCfAsLpAyNRcCa@wBeA}ELk@JcA^e@V]Ho@DWJIN?RHRHLLRUfBiA&server=meta.tourdata.at) The starting point is the main church in Lochen.
