Way of Mindfulness - Stage 4:
Start: Spes Hotel & Seminars Schlierbach
Finish: Gomde, Int. Buddhist Centre, Scharnstein
Almtal - Brunnental - Steyrtal - Kremstal
On this section, the presence of civilization is noticeably more intense: First, the trail passes through the monastery town of Schlierbach. Where farm roads wind between fields, the path below the highway briefly serves as a reminder of the hectic flow of time. When you turn onto the Hubertusweg in Inzersdorf, the trail heads back uphill into the countryside. As you look back in front of the Hubertus Chapel, you’ll be amazed at how far your own feet have carried you. The Magdalenaberg parish church is the next highlight. In early summer, poppies blooming among the fields line the path to the church in Heiligenleiten. Back at the alpine pasture, a loop over the Bäckerberg leads to a mysterious spot where Tibetan prayer flags flutter in the breeze: nestled within a square courtyard, the Gomde—the international Buddhist center—is the perfect place to reflect and retire for the night.
As mentioned above, this stage follows farm roads and runs alongside roads with little traffic, but these roads are paved. We therefore recommend light hiking boots or running shoes for this stage.
