Ideally suited for a first impression of Mondsee.** From the tourist we walk through Badgasse to the Basilica of St. Michael. The monastery church of the former Benedictine abbey Mondsee (today parish church) was elevated to a minor basilica in 2005. We walk south through the Karlsgarten, over the open-air stage (here the Jedermann performances take place in summer) and on the Kneippweg to Mondseestrasse, cross it and find ourselves in the Almeida Park. We turn left, walk along the shore and come back to Mondseestrasse. After approx. 150 m (after the 2nd house on the left) a small road leads steeply uphill to the forest park. We hike up through it. At the road we turn left and reach the pilgrimage church Maria Hilf. A great view is the reward for the short ascent. We now follow the road to the farmer's museum and the open-air museum Mondseer Rauchhaus. On the new Hilfbergstrasse, continue north along the motorway. Near the motorway bridge we reach Mondseebergstraße, where we hike slightly downhill to the left. At the former Gasthof Grüner Baum we come across Herzog-Odilo-Straße. We turn left and walk towards the town center. A plaque at house no. 37 reminds that the sculptor Meinrad Guggenbichler once lived and worked here. Following the street we reach the market square. Today's market town hall was originally a court judge's house, then a vicarage until 1989. The house of the rural communities served as a schoolhouse for many decades. At the crossing Rainerstraße - Dr. F.-Müller-Straße offers a great view of the lake. We turn right into Rainerstraße and take the 2nd street on the left (F.-Kreutzberger-Straße). Past the bus stop, it goes to Mondseestrasse, the Alpenseebad and the local railway museum. The way back to the center leads through the park, past the landing stages to the fountain and the lake chapel. We return to the starting point on the footpath along Alleestraße, where the former hospital church - today a residential building and doctor's practice - should be noted.
