The small chapel is located in the middle of the forest and there is a resting place next to it. Inside there is space for approx. 2 people. 😉

Schloss Gessenberg appeared somewhat unexpectedly on the pilgrimage route, like a charming little fairytale castle. 😅 The grounds appear very well-maintained and are surrounded by a moat.

The cycle path along the Traun is wonderful and shady. Next to the river, there are always beautiful buildings, like Schloss Pertenstein, or structures, like bridges, to see. There are also enough resting places.
