East-West-North route. On the “Steyregger Round” you encounter the beautiful estate of the Pulgarn Monastery and the monastery church. The history of Pulgarn Monastery begins with the founding of a hospital for the poor in 1301. From 1313, brothers of the Order of the Holy Spirit from Vienna and later the Augustinian Canons were active here. In 1332, a women's monastery was established nearby by Agnes von Falkenberg. Both monasteries were of equal status(!) The monastery complex was set ablaze by the Hussites in 1424 and experienced a very eventful history of rise and fall up to recent times, due to wars and raids. Today it is filled with artistic and cultural life. **On the “Steyregger Round” I let myself be moved by lightness.** The path comes to meet me – I do not have to laboriously push through it. - I pay attention to my feet and try to move forward with light steps - How heavy is my footwear, does it feel lighter with lighter shoes? - How heavy is my backpack? – Do I really need all of this I am carrying around? - I keep breathing to let lightness into my chest and abdomen through each breath, to ease myself, to let go. - Arms swinging, directing my mind to beautiful things. - I walk with a light heart and light feet. - I let my gaze wander into the distance, e.g. looking down towards Linz and on beautiful days as far as the mountains. **Directions:** In Steyregg, we start at the starting point (meadow at the tennis court or playground on Mauthausen Street) and hike westward on Weißenwolfstraße. At the end, we turn into Kirchengasse. We leave Steyregg and go up to Pfenninger. At a farm, we turn right and follow the Donausteig. At a fork, we turn down through the forest into the Finstergraben stream and hike past a quarry back to Steyregg.**Tip:** This route is presented to you by the Danube Upper Austria tourism region**Equipment:** Hiking backpack (including rain cover), sturdy footwear**Additional information:** **Municipality of Steyregg** Weissenwolffstr. 3 4221 Steyregg Tel.: 0043(0)732/640155 Fax: 0043(0)732/640555 [www.steyregg.at](http://www.steyregg.at) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4221 Steyregg **Destination:** 4221 Steyregg **duration:** 3h 0m **length:** 8,6 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 257m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 257m **Lowest point:** 253m **Highest point:** 510m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel, Other **Starting point:** Meadow at the tennis court or playground on Mauthausen Street, Steyregg **Destination:** Meadow at the tennis court or playground on Mauthausen Street, Steyregg **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Steyregg: Steyregger Round](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001268&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Steyregg: Steyregger Round](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001268&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Steyregg: Steyregger Round") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![Gastgarten genie%c3%9fen](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/395760/2CBF265771203F09F9257FC1E10A9917D3F346347B79EAE8983AD6818D662DE6/gastgarten-geniec39fen.jpg "Gastgarten genie%c3%9fen") Gasthaus Weissenwolff ![Klosterkirche Pulgarn_kl](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/431183/A735425523AD93858AA343649BDB9749D41EF97281875B0FF3B209DCE7C558AB/klosterkirche-pulgarnkl.jpg "Klosterkirche Pulgarn_kl") Pulgarn Abbey In the year 1303 this Abbey with adjoined Hospital for the Poor and the Sick was founded in the hamlet of Pulgarn.
