It follows the Stations of the Cross de-signed by Sepp Moser to the Calvary Mountain Chapel, passes the Local Heritage Museum and returns to the starting point via the "Feichta" road at the foot of the Grasberg, the “Seppenbauer” and the "Redtweg". The Neukirchen themed path is made up of 8 stations. There is an amusing quiz and drawing game for families. Be sure to collect the accompanying booklets with background information, the quiz game and the drawing tasks from the Altmünster tourist office! Kids get coloured pencils free of charge to tackle the tasks in a colourful way. Their efforts will be rewarded with a very special gift at the Altmünster tourist office.
