Former St. Anna Monastery in the heart of the "Wüste Nature Park"; the "Wüste Cycle Path" runs directly past it. Restaurant open on Sundays and public holidays.

At the moment the snowdrops are blooming all around. Beautiful :)

Beautiful forest, old walls

Saint John of Nepomuk was a priest (Vicar General of the Archbishop) in Bohemia who died a martyr's death in Prague in 1393. He was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague into the Vltava River by royal order and drowned. His statue can still be found on or near many bridges or elsewhere near rivers. He is not only considered a popular "bridge saint", but is also the patron of the seal of confession. In many depictions of his person he holds a cross in one hand, sometimes he puts a finger to his lips with the other as a sign of silence (which was heard during confession). The memorial day of Saint John of Nepomuk in the calendar of saints is March 20th.

Beautiful excursion destination directly on the cycle path.

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.

Today with the autumn sun and the view over the fields a beautiful view.
