Weg der Farben

The themed trail begins at the labyrinth in the centre of the parish park opposite the parish office and in front of the vicarage. The path leads through the parish park to the church, where the first station of the themed trail is located.

After visiting the church, the path leads past the jewels that are still frequently found in our area, our Marterln in the typical Mühlviertel design as broad pillars. The first shrine, the Pfarrhofmarterl, deserves a special mention as it is a very special shrine. The shrine has several reverse glass paintings and many reliefs with different depictions on all 4 sides. (Descriptions of the shrines can be found in the book: Small monuments of the parish and municipality of Rainbach, available at the municipal office, the vicarage and in the village inns).
The first section of the 4.5 km long trail begins here. It leads us through the gently undulating Mühlviertel, where the first stop is also located. The hiker sees and experiences the vastness of the Mühlviertel in this area, feels the Bohemian wind, at times gentle and pleasant and then again strong and cold, can follow the movement of the clouds or enjoy the warming sun.
Passing the glass wall and the glass mandala, the visitor now comes to the 4th station in the forest with a children's house and a wooden mandala, which is located in a typical Mühlviertel forest of spruce, pine and a few fir trees, where he can enjoy the tranquillity of a forest. After leaving the forest, the Feldaisttal begins, where the sand painting is located on a small hill. The path now follows the Feldaist for a while before crossing over to the other side via a small footbridge. Past the bathing pond, the next stop is the kaleidoscope, before the hiker reaches another highlight, the meditation area, where the meditation station is nestled against the embankment. Here you can feel and enjoy the security and protection of the area provided by the embankment, the forest and the small meadow surrounding the station. Alone with nature, all you can hear is the rustling of the forest, the chirping of the birds and the rippling of the Feldaist before the last part of the trail begins.
Here the hiker leaves the Feldaist valley again and comes to the last station, where the way back to the starting point, the labyrinth through Rainbach, begins.
