From the banks of the Ybbs along gravel paths and hiking trails to the 500-year-old chapel and back to the quiet village of St. Georgen am Reith.

From the town center, follow the Ybbstal Bike Trail to the turnoff toward Bromau. Passing through Pfennigtor and along a forest path, you’ll reach the Jörgl Chapel. The chapel is about 500 years old and stands on an old mule trail in the middle of the forest. The spring, which almost always flows, was once used to water the horse-drawn carts that transported ore. The water is said to have healing powers for the eyes. In 1971, the nearly dilapidated chapel was renovated and has since been a hidden gem in this region, though it is not visited very often.

Return via the Großbreitental valley to the Ybbs River, then the final few meters along the Ybbstal Bike Trail back home.

Every year in July, a mountain mass is held here.
