キルンベルク・アン・デア・マンク周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

...the rest stop by the church alone, with its beautiful view and the artwork, is worth seeing. The key can be obtained from the Gansch family. There are restrooms outside the church!

Beautifully maintained hiking trail. TIP: Great for a spring or autumn hike; in summer you're exposed to a lot of sun. 🤗

Unfortunately, it's privately owned and not open to the public. A few years ago, I wrote a blacksmithing report on the impressive window grilles and had access to the entire site for a day. It's a shame that some of the castles aren't accessible.

Kälberhart Castle was first documented in 1389 and belonged to Hertel Kälberharter at the time. According to legend, he was ennobled by Friedrich von Walser for his charitable care of the poor and sick and was allowed to use a calf's head in his coat of arms. This is said to have contributed to the name of the nearby village of Fleischessen. The present castle dates from the second half of the 16th century. It is a two-story, rectangular building with a hipped roof and cylindrical corner turrets. Originally, it was surrounded by a moat, of which only a small pond remains. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times and fell into disrepair at times. Today, it is picturesquely situated in the Mostviertel region and is a popular destination for cyclists.

Strannersdorf Castle is located west of Mank in the Mostviertel region. A castle was first mentioned on this site in the mid-14th century. In the 15th century, the Lords of Walsee built a new fortress on the site after losing their ancestral castle. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Steinberger family took over the fortifications and transformed them into the castle it houses today. The striking neo-Baroque façade with its characteristic spire was created during extensive modernization in 1888/89. For a tour to Strannersdorf Castle, there are numerous cycling paths in the area. The region around Mank offers scenic routes suitable for both recreational and competitive cyclists.

The statue with a statue of Mary Immaculata was created in 1777. The Mother of God stands on a globe and crushes a snake, her face turned towards St. Pölten. Because of the snake at her feet, the Marian column is popularly known as the "snake cross". From the hill near Kälberhart, pilgrims from St. Pölten have their first view of the Manker parish church, which is why a Marian column was erected here centuries ago. The Manker pilgrimage was created in the year of the plague in 1645. Statues, field and wayside crosses are silent symbols of Christian faith, and there are many reasons for their erection. They are often found on the side of the road - we often walk or drive past carelessly and lost in thought and do not actively notice the cross.

Castle with rectory A Maganus de Churnperge is mentioned around 1130. His castle has long since completely disappeared, but was located on the site of the later dean's office or castle. The last woman from Kirnberg was Judith, the daughter of Otto von Kirnberg, who still appears in documents in 1208. The new owners, the Lords of Plankenstein, then had the castle, which is referred to as such in 1338, partially demolished and today's parish church built in its place.
