In total, 11 viewpoints invite you to marvel and linger. **Engelszell Abbey:** Austria’s only Trappist monastery with its Rococo church invites you to visit. Don’t forget to try a sample of the excellent monastery liqueur. **Moar Rock:** With a view of Engelszell Abbey and the Danube, Moar Rock invites you to a meditative rest. **Directions:** The path leads from the St. Aegidi Municipal Office along the ridge above the Danube valley past the Burgblick viewpoint. Through the villages of Tullern and Mittelbach, you reach the Pankraz Chapel via a meadow and forest path. Shortly before, there is the possibility of a short detour to the Burgstall ruin. From now on, it goes downhill along the Danube slopes, past the Hochwurzen farm. The hiking trail passes the Marien Chapel "Magna Marta Austriae". Along the Danube, you hike from Oberranna to Engelhartszell. A visit to Engelszell Trappist Abbey is highly recommended. Now it goes uphill on the "old road" leading back towards St. Aegidi. When you have finally left the forest, there is the possibility of a short detour to the Moar Rock viewpoint, where you can once again look back into the Danube valley. Now you hike back to the center of the Sauwald community. The inns Kellerwirt and Kirchenwirt invite you to refresh and linger. **Tip:** This route is presented to you by the Danube Upper Austria tourism region**Equipment:** Hiking backpack (incl. rain cover), sturdy footwear**Additional information:** **St. Aegidi Municipal Office** St. Aegidi 10 4725 St. Aegidi Tel: + 43 7717 73550 [www.st-aegidi.at](http://www.st-aegidi.at) **Dining options along the route:** Gasthaus Kirchenwirt, St. Aegidi 1, 4725 St. Aegidi, Tel.: +43 (0)7717 71173, [www.kirchenwirt-aegidi.at](http://www.kirchenwirt-aegidi.at) Gasthaus Engelszeller Stüberl, Nibelungenstraße 20, 4090 Engelhartszell, Tel.: +43 (0)7717 8037, [www.gasthaus-strassl.at](http://www.gasthaus-strassl.at) Café of Hotel-Restaurant 'Goldenes Schiff', Nibelungenstraße 2, 4090 Engelhartszell, Tel: +43 (0)7717 8009; [www.goldenesschiff.co.at](http://www.goldenesschiff.co.at) Gasthaus Kellerwirt, St. Aegidi 7, 4725 St. Aegidi, Tel.: +43 (0)7717 7543 [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4725 St. Aegidi **Destination:** 4725 St. Aegidi **duration:** 4h 30m **length:** 15,6 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 315m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 315m **Lowest point:** 283m **Highest point:** 598m **panoramic view:** Dreamtour **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel, Other **Starting point:** St. Aegidi Municipal Office **Destination:** St. Aegidi Municipal Office **further information:** - Circular route [ ![Altitude profile St. Aegidi: Pankrazius Way](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006451&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile St. Aegidi: Pankrazius Way](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006451&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "St. Aegidi: Pankrazius Way") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![Gasthaus "Engelszeller Stüberl"](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/396206/BEA5C3658CB7637589E39B5BDD52336727C33DFD0F1F2C18C5ADD5C5272C054A/gasthaus-engelszeller-stueberl.jpg "Gasthaus "Engelszeller Stüberl"") Gasthaus "Mutti`s Imbiss" Our establishment is located opposite the Engelszell monastery, directly at the four boat landing stages, the boat landing stage and the bus stop.
