Turn-by-turn directions
After the first station, the path leads into a patch of forest, across a half-open bridge to the second station, where there is also a bench to rest on. From there, continue on a path through forest and fields until you see the sign for the "Rosenkranzweg", with the path now leading through the forest and across a bridge once more. Here, you will again come to the paved road running to the Sillergut and to the third station. Stay on this road, uphill to the right and past the Sillergut, now entering a forest. This stage is more steeply uphill and, after a short, straight stretch, we come to the second and final steep section of the Rosenkranzweg.
Before reaching the Risolstraße, we find the fourth station on our right next to a bench. There you will also find the stamping station for the Tennengau Hiking Pass (4 points). Immediately after this, we come to the paved road. From there, our hike is all downhill and straight ahead. After several meters, we come to the fifth and last station of the Rosenkranzweg on the right-hand side. After another 800 meters on the paved road, our destination is reached - the pilgrimage church of St. James the Greater along with the Loreto Chapel.
Here, you will be rewarded by a stroll around the small lake (No. 10a). Return to Puch along the same route or walk down the road to Haslach, where you can catch the bus.
