For a long time, the Austrian Mariazell has been a popular pilgrimage destination. The pilgrimage paths leading there are often bustling with activity. A quiet, less-traveled alternative to the well-known main routes is the Pielachtaler Pilgerweg, which stretches over 80 km from St. Pölten to Mariazell and largely winds through the charming valley of the Pielach. This book provides pilgrims with a detailed description of the route, complete with maps and elevation profiles. It also lists all accommodations and refreshment options located on or near the path. A general section introduces essential information about equipment, gathering information, hiking time, and much more. The small and handy format makes the book an ideal companion for pilgrims.
