The path of mindfulness - spiritual trail - stage 4 - Schlierbach - Pettenbach - Scharnstein
4645 Grünau im Almtal
Description: Dear visitors to the Path of Mindfulness!
Due to the construction site for a power plant in the "In der Lahn" area, the "In der Lahn" road is completely closed between Scharnstein and Pettenbach and is expected to remain so until mid-summer (planned date 30.07.2026).
However, there is a local detour that leads past the construction site.
diversion information: From the Ranklleiten beer hotel, head towards the Almuferweg, but then turn right downstream towards the Weng district, turn left over the Almbrücke bridge and follow the signs for the R11 Almtalradweg freight route "Herrnberg" until you cross the Almtalbahn railroad again at the unrestricted level crossing and then turn right again onto the "In der Lahn" road towards Bruckmühle, Viechtwang, Scharnstein, following the signs for the Almuferweg.
Coming from Scharnstein in the direction of Pettenbach the other way round!
We ask for your understanding!
Way of Mindfulness - Stage 4:
Start: Spes Hotel & Seminars Schlierbach
Finish: Gomde, Int. Buddhist Centre, Scharnstein
Almtal - Brunnental - Steyrtal - Kremstal
On this section, civilization accompanies you noticeably more intensely: first you pass through the monastery village of Schlierbach. Where farm tracks lead between fields, the path below the highway briefly reminds you of the hectic flow of time. When you take the Hubertusweg trail in Inzersdorf, the route climbs back up into the countryside. Looking back in front of the Hubertus Chapel, you will be amazed at how far your own feet have carried you. The Magdalenaberg parish church is the next highlight. Poppies between the fields accompany you to Heiligenleiten church in early summer. Back at the alpine pasture, after a loop over the Bäckerberg, you reach a mysterious place surrounded by Tibetan prayer flags: The Gomde, the international Buddhist center, is located in a square courtyard and is the perfect place to retreat and sleep.
As already mentioned above, this stage leads a lot along freight roads and roads with little traffic, but these are paved. We therefore recommend hiking boots or running shoes for this stage.
