Description:

Several shrines and chapels are located directly on the cycle path.
At the Kapuzinerbankerl is the Kapuzinermarterl. At this point you can also enjoy a wonderful view of the Hochficht (Bohemian Forest), the municipalities of St. Roman, Kopfing, St. Willibald, Altschwendt, Riedau, Dorf an der Pram, Kallham, Pram, the Schulterberg in Pram, the municipality of Haag am Hausruck, the Pöstlingberg (Linz) and even the Frauenstein (Molln).
The Altmann Chapel and the reservoir chapel are located in Altmannsdorf.

Reservoir (retention basin) in Altmannsdorf:
Between 1980 and 1984, the Pramtal water board built a retention basin on the Pram. With the participation of the 3 neighbouring communities of Taiskirchen, Pram and Dorf an der Pram, a 7-hectare ground lake was constructed, an island was provided, bathing jetties were installed and a sunbathing lawn was built.
The reservoir is used by young people and adults alike; in summer for camping, barbecues and fishing, in winter for curling or ice skating.

The Rotzaunkreuz and the Wetterkreuz can be found in Edtleiten.
The weather cross was erected by the surrounding residents in 1869 due to the very strong thunderstorms and storms and is a striking sight with a height of approx. 5 metres. Christ's instruments of suffering are depicted on the weather cross.
The weather cross was renovated in 1925 and 1962, and in 1967 the sweat cloth of Jesus Christ was impressively carved out of oak wood by machinist Johann Unfried and added to the weather cross.

The Ellerberg cross and the Machtla cross are also located on the cycle route in Ellerbach.
Further along the route are the Wiesenberger Chapel (built in 1894) and the Gaderbauern Column in Wiesenberg, the Günzing Cross and the Binderhiasl Chapel in Günzing, the Loiprecht Chapel (built in 1905, with a Lourdes grotto) in Bruckleiten, the Reinthaler Chapel and the Brandstättner Chapel (built in 1904) in Zahra and the 5 metre high Gumpinger Cross in Wolfsedt. The Gumpingerkreuz shows Jesus on the cross and Mary. The cross was erected in 1875 following two major farm fires.
