The patronage of "Our Lady of the Snows" – which, in my experience, is not all that common – indicates that this pilgrimage church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but not, as is usually the case, associated with one of her classic feast days (such as the Name of Mary, the Nativity, the Assumption, or as Queen of the Rosary). Rather, the search for the origin of "Our Lady of the Snows" leads us far back in church history to the fourth or fifth century, and geographically from here across the Alps to the Italian capital. On August 5, 363, at the site where the magnificent church of Santa Maria Maggiore stands today (Pope Francis, who died last month, was laid to rest there), the so-called "Miracle of the Snows" occurred. That is, on that day, in the middle of summer, there was snow there in the morning because Our Lady wanted a church dedicated to her built on that spot. She expressed this wish in a nighttime vision to a wealthy couple who financed the construction and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius. The Roman church has the status of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica), and is the origin of all churches and chapels bearing this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the date of August 5, the day of the church's consecration (in the year 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is a "non-obligatory memorial."

You'll get quite a shake here. If it's wet, this section will be more of a push if you don't want to fall on the slippery roots and rocks. But it's only a short stretch 😉

The Leitmannsdorf Bridge is a viaduct on the historic route of the horse-drawn railway - a beautiful little place where the former traffic artery through the Mühlviertel can be felt - even if the former bridge is "missing".

Many people use this chapel as a starting point for their hike. But you can also just enjoy the beautiful view ☺️

Entry to the museum with a carriage ride is incredibly affordable at less than €10 per person. However, it is only open to registered groups.

The beautiful heath landscape up here is further enhanced by this beautiful lake (lots of iron in the moor water).

Here the positive signs for cycle routes predominate, but in Austria unfortunately the bans prevail. If a ban is displayed here, then that is also more understandable (here, for example, private access)

A very nice renovated inn with CZ opening hours (daily, kitchen open all day), very friendly service and very good food. In the house you will find beautifully prepared hunting objects, almost a museum of wild animals.
