The stage starts at the panoramic board at the ship landing stage in Marbach. The path leads past the Winkler mill, up through the untouched nature of the Steinbach Gorge. Enjoy the relaxing peace and use the time to unwind. After the gorge, there is an opportunity for a short rest in nature or a little further at the Gressl inn in Hilmanger. Then the route descends again with a magnificent view of the Danube Valley. You pass through small villages and forest before the last section with a steep climb uphill to Maria Taferl. The path leads past the impressive basilica before the stage ends at the panoramic board at the town entrance. Situated high above the Danube Valley, Maria Taferl offers a unique panoramic view over the entire Alpine range from Schneeberg to Traunstein and is the most important pilgrimage site in Lower Austria.
