Heinrichsbründlweg

Description:

Starting from the "New Secondary School Mauthausen" in Czerwenka Street in Ufer, the path leads north to the "Grünbaum Chapel" and further to the "Kalvarienberg Chapel."

Then continuing through the park to the Brunngraben, eastwards to Kirchenberg Street. After approx. 100 meters, turn right onto the Höhenweg. Then proceed via Eschenweg along a path to Heinrichsbründl.

The legend tells of a fish that asked the washerwoman to pull it out. Since this did not happen, the fish remained enchanted, and the spring dried up.

Along Hinterberg Street it goes towards the train station to Vormarkt Street. Past the Heinrich Church, which was a monastery around 1000 AD and now became a preservation church for the community, we come via the Schiffmeisterhaus to Heindlkai with baroque houses. At the former water castle Pragstein, built in 1492 on a rock in the Danube, we reach the promenade. Then it continues via Steinweg back to the start at the "New Secondary School Mauthausen."
