Pielachtaler Pilgerweg: Etappe 3/4: Loich - Annaberg

Loich - Schwarzenbach on the Pielach - Annaberg

From Loich, continue in a southerly direction, following the Ödgegend estate road to the right and continuing via Perneben, from where the path leads down to Schwarzenbach an der Pielach. Hiking trail 7/6 takes you on a gradual ascent 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 the stage destination of Annaberg, the first "holy mountain". You reach the local pilgrimage church via the mountain path.
