This is followed by a brisk descent to Kleinhollenstein, then turn left and after a few hundred meters, on the right side, follow the connection to the Ybbstal cycle path (clearly marked with arrows). After 3 km you reach the former railway station Großhollenstein. Here is the start of the short stage. Passing the Schafkäs-Express to the village square and continuing towards Dornleiten, past the wonderful Hammerherr houses, the route steadily climbs to the highest point of the stage: the Promau, with views of the Voralpe and the Stumpfmauer, the highest elevation of the municipality of Weyer. This is followed by the descent to the Mendlingtal manor house, where before the next 2 km climb (somewhat steeper) you can stop for a drink. Then it goes downhill to Lassing and further on the road to Göstling, where the late baroque parish church offers spiritual refreshment and some restaurants offer physical refreshment. From here, passing the brine baths, you rejoin the Ybbstal cycle path and cycle downstream to the destination church of St. Georgen am Reith. Then continue towards Hollenstein, where the popular beach invites you to cool off. Those who have chosen the short stage return by car to Weyer or Gaflenz. Otherwise, the route continues first downstream to Kleinhollenstein, then once more uphill to Saurüssel and from there further downhill back to the starting point. **Safety guidelines:** Please note: For environmental protection reasons, the route largely avoids elaborate signposting. Map and GPX data provide the necessary security. **Equipment:** Cycling helmet, first aid pack for rider and bike [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 3335 Weyer **Destination:** 3335 Weyer **duration:** 6h 34m **length:** 86,0 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 959m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 887m **Lowest point:** 398m **Highest point:** 804m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Path / trail, Gravel, Street, Other **Starting point:** Gaflenz/Weyer **Destination:** Gaflenz/Weyer **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile 5 Sebaldustour St. Georgen Route - The Dragon Slayer](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430009026&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile 5 Sebaldustour St. Georgen Route - The Dragon Slayer](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430009026&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "5 Sebaldustour St. Georgen Route - The Dragon Slayer") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![Innenraum der Pfarrkirche Göstling](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/405776/90D957FB015F83089B53F590EB4653EC63DEDF2108945E737DF4DD4939D311D2/innenraum-der-pfarrkirche-goestling.jpg "Innenraum der Pfarrkirche Göstling") Parish church Göstling The parish church in the centre of Göstling an der Ybbs is dedicated to St. Andrew the Apostle. The parish is mentioned for the first time in 1310, but was founded in the second half of the 13th century as a daughter parish of Hollenstein by the diocese of Freising. Only the Gothic portal of the original church has been preserved.The year 1488 is visible carved in stone on the lintel. At that time, the church faced east. In 1717, the famous master builder Josef Mungenast was summoned from St. Pölten to give instructions about the tower and the new building. The church extension in the years 1785 to 1792 became a new church building - a simple baroque building with the altar in the north and the entrance in the south. The tower on the side was preserved.The neo-Romanesque altars, the high altar to St. Andrew, the left side altar to the Coronation of Mary and the right side altar to the Holy Family were made by F. Schmalzl from Val Gardena (erected in 1900). Of the old furnishings, only the high altarpiece of the time and the Deposition of St. Andrew and the side altarpieces of St. Anthony with the Child Jesus and the Nativity (Holy Family) have been preserved. The three pictures painted by J. M. Schmidt in 1794 are on the side walls in the nave. The red marble communion rail and two large sanctuary chandeliers (Eternal Light) were brought from Gaming Charterhouse, which was dissolved in 1782. During the last interior renovation from 1989 to 1990, the people's altar and the ambo were created from the valuable communion rail. In the chancel, near the baptismal font, there are two wrought-iron light arms (rococo around 1740), as well as two pictures from the Krems Schmidt School, St. Magdalene and the Nativity, which were renovated by the Federal Monuments Office in 1993. The church is decorated with statues of St. Anne, St. Agnes, St. Barbara, St. Francis, St. Aloisius, St. Leonhard, St. Joseph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. During the last church renovation, the Lourd grotto and a niche for the Pieta were created and the attractive Stations of the Cross were restored.Remarkable are the 8 church windows made of larch wood from the time of the new church construction. The window frames and the outer sashes were newly made of larch wood during the last renovation. The old repaired sashes were attached to the inside of the outer sashes. The centuries-old hand-blown glass is still present in the inner sashes. The leaded windows from around 1900 depict St. Cecilia, St. Heart of Jesus, St. Heart of Mary and St. Theresa of Avila. In 1909 the organ was built by the master organ builder Leopold Breinbauer from Ottensheim / Upper Austria. The organ is pneumatic.In the 36 m high tower hang 5 bells. The oldest ones are dated 1533 and 1735.In 1955, 3 new bells were cast in St. Florian. Next to the church, connected to the parish courtyard by an arch, is a KARNER with sgraffiti dating back to the 16th century.
