Description:

Starting from the "New Secondary School Mauthausen" in Czerwenka Street in Ufer, the path leads north to the "Grünbaum Chapel" and further to the "Kalvarienberg Chapel."

Then continuing through the park to the Brunngraben, eastwards to Kirchenberg Street. After approx. 100 meters, turn right onto the Höhenweg. Then proceed via Eschenweg along a path to Heinrichsbründl.

The legend tells of a fish that asked the washerwoman to pull it out. Since this did not happen, the fish remained enchanted, and the spring dried up.

Along Hinterberg Street it goes towards the train station to Vormarkt Street. Past the Heinrich Church, which was a monastery around 1000 AD and now became a preservation church for the community, we come via the Schiffmeisterhaus to Heindlkai with baroque houses. At the former water castle Pragstein, built in 1492 on a rock in the Danube, we reach the promenade. Then it continues via Steinweg back to the start at the "New Secondary School Mauthausen."

Tip:
The day hike consists of a small and large round (additionally with section no. 170 to the Marbacher Linde, the highest elevation of Mauthausen) and continues via Marbach Castle, 1 km eastwards along hiking trail no. 4 to the Poschacher farmstead and to the train station.Equipment:

Granitlandschaft und Donauauen…
Wir befinden uns hier am Rand der Böhmischen Masse, deren Untergrund aus Granit und Gneis besteht. Die Region Mauthausen - Schwertberg - Perg war jahr hundertelang Zentrum des Granitabbaus. Millionen von Granitwürfeln für das Straßenpflaster der Hauptstädte Wien, Preßburg und Budapest wurden hier erzeugt und mit Ruderschiffen donauabwärts gebracht. Steinbrüche sind häufig Lebensräume selten gewordener Vögel. Nun tritt der Donausteig in die Beckenlandschaft des Machlandes ein. Entstanden durch Ablagerungen der Donau und ihrer Zubringer, ist es einer der ältesten Siedlungsräume Europas. Vor den ersten Entwässerungsversuchen in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts war es eine große Feuchtlandschaft. Obwohl im Laufe der Zeit umfassende Veränderungen der Landschaft stattgefunden haben, sind die Donauauen die für den Naturschutz bedeutendsten Flächen des Machlandes.

Rund um Schloss Pragstein gibt es viel zu entdecken - wer weiß, wie viele Schlupfwinkel es dort tatsächlich gibt. "Der Geheimgang", den einst ein junges Mädchen entdeckte, existiert möglicherweise immer noch...
