Living history - adventure walks in the Salzkammergut Region: The Pilgrim’s Path.

An historic pilgrim’s way leads from St. Gilgen, via Fürberg, over the Falkenstein and the hamlet of Ried to St. Wolfgang.  This unique European cultural route with its 24 marked places of interest documents its special importance, from the prehistoric places of worship, through the Christian ministry of St. Wolfgang to the peak of the pilgrimages and the beginning of modern-day tourism.

The path, apart from the relatively steep climb up and down the Falkenstein (200m ascent), is suitable for the whole family and is lined with impressive memorials and exceptional scenic variety.
