After reaching the Kaisereiche, you'll soon come to the Schmugglerweg memorial. Then, continue to the Zwergerl Treffen, where a fantastic trail continues downhill.

Nice idea:) You can recognize the colorful dwarves from far away.

A pleasant colorful highlight on this hike, the longer you look, the more details you discover

Come on Monday afternoon, with a bit of luck you will be the only visitor.

The community of Loretto itself has fewer than 500 inhabitants, but an estimated 100,000 pilgrims are counted here each year. The biggest pilgrimage days are the "Great Women's Day" (Assumption of Mary) on August 15th, when between 15,000 and 20,000 people come to Loretto, the Feast of the Nativity of Mary on September 8th, and the "Croatian Sunday", the pilgrimage of the Burgenland Croats, on the third Sunday in September. Many of the pilgrims still come on foot today. It seems that I picked a special day for my visit today. I was completely alone, not a soul to be seen.

On August 15, 2023, the Great Kirtag will be held in Loretto again this year, as every year for the 'Assumption of Mary' pilgrimage. On this day, up to 25,000 people from near and far populate the small community at the foot of the Leitha Mountains in the district of Eisenstadt-Umwelt in Burgenland.
