스테가우라흐 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

이 성전은 지역 공동체의 수호성인을 (거의 무한히 많은) 성인 중 한 명이 아닌 "성 십자가"에 맡겼습니다. 아마도 하이커/산책객에게 잠시 멈추어 짧은 명상을 하고 하나님께 기도를 드리는 것이 적절한 시간이 될 것입니다. 따라서 저는 여러분이 십자가 나무에 못 박히신 그리스도를 통해 나타난 우리 인간에 대한 하나님의 무한한 사랑을 이곳에서 기도하며 묵상하도록 초대하고 싶습니다. 아마도 스페인의 수도회 설립자인 이냐시오 데 로욜라(1491-1556)의 말 한마디가 도움이 될 수 있을 것입니다: + "인간의 희망이 가장 깊이 가라앉을 때, 바로 그때 하나님에 대한 신뢰가 가장 높아진다. 모든 인간적인 도움이 물러나는 곳에서 신적인 것이 길을 열기 때문이다."

Wooden cross with a corpus of Christ. In 1929, the forestry administration erected a memorial in the Birkach Forest at the intersection of various hiking trails for the forestry workers who fell or went missing in World War I. This memorial is maintained today by the Stegaurach Veterans' Association.

The church was built starting in 1959 and consecrated on All Saints' Day in 1960.

Is a gnome trail with miniature figures and mini houses a particular highlight for children?

Radweg Mühlendorf - Stegaurach

According to legend, it was built by a wagon driver who, long ago, had gotten stuck with his wagon in the marshy area there. After spending the entire night in extreme distress and danger to his life, he swore that "if he was rescued, he would level this dangerous place and have a chapel built there in honor of the Seven Sleepers." The wagon driver probably dedicated the chapel to the Seven Sleepers, who are rarely venerated as saints in our region, because he had found a martyrdom scene with a relief of the Seven Sleepers there. This martyrdom was mentioned in various writings in 1530 and 1575.

The Seven Sleepers Chapel stands at the southern end of Stegaurach, on the road from Dellern to Hartlanden. In the simply furnished interior of the chapel, a stone altar forms the focal point. The altar relief depicts seven men at rest, the holy Seven Sleepers, with God the Father enthroned above them, surrounded by clouds and angel heads. The names of the Seven Sleepers, "Maximian, Malchus, Martinian, Dionysius, Johannes, Serapion, and Constantinus," were only recently inscribed above the altar. The Slavs, in particular, venerated the Seven Sleepers as saints, and so it is possible that, as early inhabitants of this area, they brought their cult to Stegaurach. On the other hand, one could also assume that, at the time of the Crusades, a returning participant from the local area heard of these saints, perhaps experienced the power of their intercession, and spread their veneration here.

The wooden chapel was built around 1600 and first renovated in 1661. In 1696, it was replaced by a larger stone structure on the same site. Until 1825, its feast day was celebrated with a solemn procession of Stegaurach's faithful. Afterward, this beautiful custom fell into oblivion for a long time. It wasn't until 1860 that the parish remembered it again, and since then, it has held an annual procession to the Seven Sleepers Chapel on June 27th.
