Wastl am Wald is a mountain range in the Lower Austrian Limestone Alps, which is named after a well-known mountain inn. It lies at the transition from the Türnitz Alps to the Ötscherland.

The name originated in the second half of the 19th century and goes back to the wood servant and later innkeeper Sebastian Weinberger, whom the locals called Wastl because of his first name.

The rustic restaurant was located on a gentle saddle (pass height 1006 m) on Puchenstubner Straße B 28 from Puchenstuben to Gösing on the Mariazellerbahn at almost 1000 m above sea level. A., while the ridge rises to about 1200 m. The inn has been closed for several years.

The area is close to the Mariazellerbahn and is therefore an ideal starting point for a variety of excursions and circular hiking trails in all directions: to the west, steeply down into the canyons of the Ötschergräben, along the winding railway hiking trail, or to the east to the gentle mountains around the Hennesteck. There are also themes for pathless exploration of geological structures such as the steep rock walls of the Hennmauer or the Mitterkeil, and the forest stock, rich in game, is a paradise for weekend hunters.

The neighboring mountains in the north and east of the "Wastl" have heights of 1200 to 1300 m above sea level. A.

Basilica of Mariazell

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic basilica of Mariazell is the most important place of pilgrimage in Austria and also significant beyond the country's borders. A Gothic church with a striking pointed arch portal was built here in the 14th century. The central tower is 90 meters high and the largest bell in Styria rings in it. She weighs 5,702 kilograms. The bell tower is bordered on the left and right by two other towers that were built in the course of the Baroque era in the 17th century.

The basilica is open daily from 7.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. There are regular tours of the treasury and the votive collection. If you want to read more about the house of God, you can find useful information here: basilika-mariazell.at.
