Schwarzenbach an der Pielach – Annaberg – Fadental – Hubertussee – Mariazell

Hiking trail 7/6 takes you on a slow ascent from Schwarzenbach an der Pielach to the wooden church.

The trail then continues uphill to the Weißes Kreuz at 1030m. This is followed by a descent to the Reidl lifts and then a short, steep climb to Annaberg, the first "holy mountain". You reach the local pilgrimage church via the mountain path.

From Annaberg, follow hiking route 06B/06 up to the Sabel, on to Fadental and the Hubertussee lake with the romantic Bruder Klaus church. The route then continues to the Walster and up to the Habertheuersattel (1015m). The rest of the route leads pilgrims to the Sebastiani Rosary Trail, which is followed directly to the basilica in Mariazell.

Alternatively, on this last stage from Annaberg you can also follow the Via Sacra via Joachimsberg, Josefsberg and Mitterbach or reach Mariazell from the Habertheuersattel via the Bürgeralpe.
