Take the bus to the bus stop "Lavant Ort".
The first stage of the pilgrimage trail leads from the Lavant pilgrimage church in the East Tyrolean Drau Valley via the beautifully situated Lake Tristach, along the Roman path to Burgfrieden and past the Lienzer Klause to St. Korbinian/Thal in the Pustertal Valley. The demands on fitness and technique are still low here.
The first stage of the Hoch und Heilig pilgrimage trail from Lavant to St. Korbinian offers both scenic beauty and spiritual experiences. The route leads through idyllic forests and gentle hills, offering hikers a refreshing view of nature and a peaceful atmosphere. Particularly noteworthy is the Lavant river, whose banks accompany the route and provide a calming backdrop for pilgrims.
In addition to the scenic beauty, the stage is also rich in cultural and religious sights. There is a historic pilgrimage church in Lavant, which offers a place of contemplation and reflection. The destination of the stage, the church of St. Korbinian, impresses with its baroque architecture and is an important religious destination, as it is dedicated to St. Korbinian, an important missionary of the region.
We start the "High and Holy" pilgrimage trail at the pilgrimage church in Lavant on the Lavanter Kirchbichl. From there, we set off for the St. Peter and Paul's Church and continue to the Kreithof farm along path no. 11. We continue our pilgrimage to the idyllic Tristacher See lake. Still on trail no. 11 (forest nature trail), we hike down to the chapel at Ulrichsbichl and on to the village of Amlach, where we stop briefly at the church of St. Ottilie. In earlier times, Amlach was a popular place of pilgrimage for those suffering from eye problems. We continue up the Drau until we cross the Drau at the Waldschenke inn in the direction of Leisach up to the parish church of St. Michael. Via the Römerweg we reach Burgfrieden, past the Lienzer Klause. The inscription on the memorial stone commemorates the defensive battle of 1809, when the Tyrolean riflemen forced the Napoleonic troops to withdraw from Lienz. We reach the village of Thal via the Römerweg. From here, it is only a short climb to our destination of St. Korbinian on a terrace above the Pustertal valley.
