Way of St. James Mostviertel: 2nd stage: from Neustadtl to Wallsee

From Neustadtl, we follow the long-distance trail 08 southwest to the hamlet Niederhöhberg. There, we turn west towards Öd onto the red-white marked hiking trail 453, which leads us to the pilgrimage church of St. Ottilie in Kollmitzberg and further downhill via Kirchfeld to Ardagger Abbey. We continue over Pfaffenberg, Brachegg, Limberg, and Friedlmühle to the Moststraße municipality of Zeillern. We leave Zeillern along the Most Nature Trail and the Path of Inspiration heading towards Oberzeillern, shortly before the village turning north towards Gebetsberg, and follow the road towards Wallsee to Oberdona. Shortly after the hamlet, we turn left onto hiking trail 454, on which we go via Destelberg to Pyhra. In Schweinberg, we continue west over Steinbichl and Hofing and arrive at the Sindelburg parish church and shortly thereafter in the center of Wallsee. Alternatively, we can also continue straight from Schweinberg to Sommerau, where we meet the Danube cycle path and follow it to Wallsee.

Coming from Salzburg, we take the Amstetten-West exit (123) and drive on the B119 via Ardagger Abbey, Kollmitzberg, and Schaltberg to Neustadtl on the Danube.

Coming from Vienna, we take the Amstetten-East exit (108), then follow the B1 to Balldorf/Hermannsdorf and then turn right into the L6039. We cross the West Autobahn and continue via Krahof and Hainstetten to Neustadtl on the Danube.

Arrival in Neustadtl:
We take the train to Amstetten and from there the bus 1616 to Neustadtl/Donau.

There are many parking options around the church in Neustadtl.
