Spiritual path, Ratten
At the vulgo "Röckhofer" not only the view, but also the remarkable lime tree, is worth a mention.
The existing wayside crosses and monuments lead one further to the "Prembauer" and down to the Nießnitz. Following the road along the stream, the path leads back to the parish church. This section is easily passable with a wheelchair as well as with a baby carriage. Along the way, more texts await contemplation and meditation.
The tranquility of the path through woods and meadows, the texts and also the walking and lingering let you push aside everyday life and achieve relaxation for body and soul.
