Meditation Path Wolfsbach

Description

The meditation path is primarily a spiritual path that conveys silence in the lee of the noisy world and leads through the diverse landscape in the “heart of Mostviertel”. The special features in fauna and flora are to be discovered in the melodic ups and downs over gentle hills, through dark coniferous forests or all-encompassing rows of trees. Since our senses are well adapted to the slowness of walking, it is also attempted to divert attention from everyday life and to focus on natural beauty – less with the intellect, more through feeling. The comprehensive view into the Alpine foothills and further into the Alps – from Ötscher to Traunstein – makes the heart of every hiker beat faster!

Route description Meditation Path Wolfsbach

We start at the Gasthaus Karan in the town center, walk past a Marian chapel towards Hinterberg, then continue to the Labyrinthstein (finger labyrinth by Johannes Domenig) and after a Sacred Heart chapel on the hill, we reach the Ötscherblick. A stone cross along the way invites reflection before we come to the highlight, the village chapel built in 2003 – a place of power where one learns to breathe and recharge with new life energy (design by DI Friedrich Fischer, art project “Full House” by Manfred Erjautz). Then follow the dream place/silence place and as the second to last station, we reach the barefoot path as well as the fire and water spot in the brook valley (with barbecue facilities). Afterwards, the climb back to the town center awaits us. A walk through the cemetery should remind us of transience, the parish church in neo-Gothic style is worth seeing.
