According to tradition, the spring water of the Annabrunn Chapel is said to have a healing effect on eye diseases. In southern Styria, the healing spring is also called Annabründl. The Annabrunn Chapel looks back on a long history. A chapel is said to have been built on this site as early as the 17th century by nuns from Judenbürg who settled on the Kogelberg. In 1730 this chapel was officially mentioned for the first time. At that time there was a wooden tower above the fountain room, which was adjoined by a small altar room. In 1856, Johann Fuchs from Leibnitz built an addition, which, however, was removed at the end of the First World War along with a dozen sandstone figures. The special power of the chapel is attributed in particular to the event around 1890, when the then 13-year-old Hedwig Pratter from Tillmitsch appeared to mother Anna and cured her eye problems. In 1955 the municipal chapel committee was founded with the aim of general renovation and further permanent support together with the population. In 1957 the Annabrunn Chapel passed from the owner at the time, Paul Krischan, to the sovereignty of the community. In 1997 the chapel was completely renovated, financed by a building block campaign and the active help of the population. In 2014, the Annabrunn Chapel received its new roof, made possible by many volunteers. The area of the chapel is freely accessible all year round. Arrival: Ideally via the GEO coordinates listed below, as the chapel itself does not have a unique house number and the new street name "Annabrunnweg" is not yet recognized by all navigation systems. The easiest way to find the source is to use your navigation system to select the Grottenhof Nature Park Center as your destination. But you drive past the Grottenhof building and after a short time you come to a very small roundabout where you drive in the direction of Hotel Restaurant Staribacher. After about 500 meters there is a fork where you keep to the right. From here the path is marked.

Here the Laßnitz flows into the Sulm and there are nice opportunities (at least) to refresh your legs or to take a longer break!

Easy to drive, absolutely traffic-free

Didn't expect a basalt quarry in this area!
