Hiking route Kohlreithberg via Pameth, Maria Anzbach

<p>The route starts at the market square in the center of Maria Anzbach. Here you find the inn "Zum Goldenen Löwen," the Goldammer Museum, and the pilgrimage church. A detour to the nearby Schönbeck mill via Schmiedgasse is worthwhile. You head west, through the churchyard, and over Schulweg into Schwabstraße. Here the blue marking towards Kohlreith "To the Millennium Cross" begins. Follow this road uphill. After about 400m, you pass under the Westbahn and turn left into Josef Schöffelstraße. At the end of this street, follow the blue marking into the forest. Through beech forest, partly steep, go uphill. At the end of the forest, you come to a junction which you cross straight ahead towards "To the Millennium Cross." You are now on the Kohlreithberg nature trail; here you go straight until you reach the summit. The last 150m is a small footpath. At the Millennium Cross, you have reached your destination. The view stretches from here into the Waldviertel and Weinviertel, but especially Maria Anzbach and Neulengbach with its castle show themselves at their best. Then you turn back until the junction. Here turn left. After a few meters, the blue marking points to Eichgraben. Follow this on the road to the Hart settlement. At the next crossroads turn right and from there follow the blue marking towards St. Christophen. After about 200m, turn right into the forest. Go straight ahead and pass a meadow with a view of Altlengbach. After another forest section, you come to Roman burial mounds and the "Red Cross," a picturesque small monument. Continue to the next junction where you turn right and then follow the green marking towards Maria Anzbach. Downhill over a narrow forest path. Then at Pameth, cross a short stretch of meadow and a country road, then back through the forest. When the path leads out of the woods again, you must cross the country road and walk a footpath to a wayside shrine, then a few meters further the green marking branches off right onto a gravel path – follow it. Passing the Tannenhof, after about 1 km you reach the residential area of Maria Anzbach on Rehgartenstraße. Past the former "Hotel zur Reichskrone" you reach Schwabstraße again, from where you return via the churchyard to the starting point.</p>
