The linden trees at St. Augustine’s church are protected under nature conservancy laws. Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6476 812, www.stmargarethen.at 38 Parish Church of St. Michael Presumably in the 9 th /10 th century, the first church was built in St. Michael on the site of a pre-Christian place of worship. After this fell into disrepair around the year 1100, the new St. Michael’s Church was built and first chronicled in 1147. Circa 1500, the nave was added to the parish church and, together with the filial church of St. Martin, reconsec- rated in 1513. The octagonal charnel house - St. Wolfgang’s Chapel - probably dates back to the 14 th century.

Bacher Travel Agency T +43 (0)6477 8111, www.bacher-reisen.com Tips for Safe Cycling Equipment Severe head injuries may result from a cycling accident. Many of these injuries can be avoided by wearing a bicycle helmet. That’s why you should always wear a good-fitting bicycle helmet every time you ride – and that goes for adults as well as children. Children under 12 must wear a bike helmet by law. The accom- panying parent or adult is responsible to ensure the child does indeed wear a helmet. This law also applies to children under 12 who are being transported in a bicycle trailer or on a bicycle. Bright clothing, preferably with reflective strips, is important, especially in the dark or when visibility is poor. Important Rules of the Road To ensure your bike ride is safe, you must comply with some important rules of the road. Here is an excerpt: • Always give a hand signal when turning. • Slow down when approaching an intersection. • Keep within the speed limit and adjust your speed to your own abilities. • Always yield to traffic that has the right of way. • The road signs „Vorrang geben“ (“Give way”) and „Halt“ (“Stop”) also apply to cyclists. • Pedestrians have the right of way on pedestrian crosswalks/zebra crossings. • Be sure to keep a safe distance as you ride past parked cars, as well as from vehicles ahead of you. • Cycling against the flow of traffic on a one-way street is only allowed if there is an additional sign which expressly indicates you may do so! On residential one-way streets, cycling against traffic flow is generally permitted. • When riding a bicycle, you should always use the roadway unless there is a designated bike path, in which case the latter must be used. • Cycling on autobahns (motorways) and main trunk roads is prohibited. Cycling side-by-side is allowed on bike paths, biking roads, residential streets, in areas where pedestrians have priority over traffic and – on other roads with vehicular traffic – during training rides with racing bikes. When riding side-by- side, cyclists must use the right-most lane.

In 1242, the castle and the entire Lessach region were sold to the Archbishop of Salzburg. During archaeological excavations conducted in 2001, 8m-high remains of the fortified tow- er, as well as castle walls as much as 4m thick were unearthed. Many legends have been preserved through the generations about the “Thurnschallweibl” - the last lady of this castle. Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6484 813, www.lessach.at 42 St. Augustine’s Chapel/St. Michael According to one legend, St. Augustine’s Chapel has been in existence since 283 AD. Many locals and guests visit the chapel for the “Augenstil Wasser”, water which is reputed to be able to alleviate eye ailments. Info: Tourist office T +43 (0)6477 8913, www.sanktmichael.at 43 St. George’s Pilgrimage Church & Bonze Statue/Thomatal Recently renovated, this pilgrimage church is a jewel and living testament to different ar- chitectural periods. Here you will find a ceiling painting by Seraphin Lederwasch, as well as the hand-powered bellows of an organ from the year 1812. The truly unique clock and striking mechanisms, as well as hand-rung bells, make this church – which has no electricity or heating – a very special place of worship, one where Ecclesiastical Counselor Valentin Pfeifenberger served for 50 years. A bronze monument to him, which was erected in 2004 after his death, depicts him riding on a donkey.

The Ramingstein crushing mill and the arch- bishops’ smelter were in operation until 1782. The Furnaces: The smelter consists of a blast furnace and, next to it, two fires in a ca. 19 m- high chimney. Hours: Can be visited at any time, special tours on request.

Cemetery regulations allow for exclusive use of cast- or wrought-iron crosses, as well as these “Sarchen” of prescribed dimensions. On the east side of St. Paul’s Parish Church you will find the Charnel House, a building about which nu- merous tales are told: The remains of the pious deceased were disinterred by the grave diggers of that time, washed, bleached in the sun and brought to the chapel of the dead, allowing the villagers to venerate their local holy figures. In 1996, a fresco was discovered on the ceiling.

Because water levels would rise and fall over the course of the year, this particular mill is known as a “cloud-burst mill”, often forced to stand still for weeks at a time. During such periods, the va- cant structure would frequently attract tramps, fugitives and even lovers.

Castles & Palaces

25 Schloss Moosham near UnternbergAmongst the common folk of the Lungau, Moosham was undoubtedly quite a bit less po-pular than it is today, serving as the administ-rative center of the region and the seat of the local governor, who exercised high justice on behalf of the prince archbishops. Those must have been terrible times indeed, for it was behind these castle walls that the witch trials were held!Guided Tours of the Castle Museum:April to September: Daily 10.00 am to 04.00 pm at the top of every hourOctober: Daily 11.00 am and 02.00 pm Closed Monday, open continuously in August Children’s Tours: May through September every Thursday at 10.00 am and 02.00 pm Prices: adults € 10.00, children € 5.00, groups of 20 or more € 8.00, school classes € 4.50Info: Castle Management T +43 (0)6476 305, www.schlossmoosham.at

29 St. Leonhard’s Pilgrimage Church/TamswegGenerally regarded as one of the most beau-tiful Gothic country churches in the southern German-speaking region, known especially for its “Golden Window”. Guided tours are offered by appointment!Info: Marianne Resch T +43 (0)6474 6870

30 Pilgrimage Church/MariapfarrOriginally built in Romanesque style, the church acquired its current appearance in the 15th cent.

Adjacent to the parsonage, you will find Joseph Mohr square with the “Silent Night Fountain”. Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6473 8766, www.mariapfarr.at

31 Laurentius Church/MariapfarrProbably the oldest church in the Lungau regi-on, in Althofen outside Mariapfarr. First chro-nicled in the year 923, this became the base for Christianization of the Lungau. Today’s building dates back to the 18th century.Info: Elfriede Bauer T +43 (0)6473 8676

32 St. Gertrauden Filial Church Mauterndorf This Romanesque church in the community of St. Gertrauden is the oldest church in Mau-terndorf. A unique feature: “The Cemetery of Innocent (un-Christened) Children“.Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6472 7949, www.mauterndorf.at

33 St. Wolfgang’s Church MauterndorfBuilt in 1642, this church, along with its Mount Calvary, is enthroned high above the town. Aside from magnificent panoramic views, the crucifixion group on the south wall of the church is a particular draw for visitors.Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6472 7949, www.mauterndorf.at

34 St. Bartholomew’s Parish Church/MauterndorfThis church in the town center features both Romanesque, as well as Early Gothic and Baroque elements.

35 St. Paul’s Parish Church/LessachAfter a fire in 1857, the church was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style. During renovation work in 1984, the sun dial on the south side of the church, dated 1763, was discovered. The interior of the church has been renovated in recent years, while the new altar (very beautiful work of Lungau artist, Peter Brand-stätter) was consecrated in September 2010.

37 Pilgrimage Church of St. Augustine/St. MargarethenThis church, whose history extends back to the year 1250, was for a long time the destination for pilgrimages in veneration of St. Augustine and the Virgin Mary. Numerous votive tablets indicate that Augustine was invoked especially by those suffering from eye maladies. The ceiling painting is by famous Lungau painter Gregor Lederwasch. The linden trees at St. Augustine’s church are protected under nature conservancy laws.Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6476 812, www.stmargarethen.at

38 Parish Church of St. MichaelPresumably in the 9th/10th century, the first church was built in St. Michael on the site of a pre-Christian place of worship. After this fell into disrepair around the year 1100, the new St. Michael’s Church was built and first chronicled in 1147.

Tips for Safe CyclingEquipmentSevere head injuries may result from a cycling accident. Many of these injuries can be avoided by wearing a bicycle helmet. That’s why you should always wear a good-fitting bicycle helmet every time you ride – and that goes for adults as well as children. Children under 12 must wear a bike helmet by law. The accom-panying parent or adult is responsible to ensure the child does indeed wear a helmet. This law also applies to children under 12 who are being transported in a bicycle trailer or on a bicycle. Bright clothing, preferably with reflective strips, is important, especially in the dark or when visibility is poor.

Important Rules of the RoadTo ensure your bike ride is safe, you must comply with some important rules of the road. Here is an excerpt:

• Always give a hand signal when turning.• Slow down when approaching an intersection.• Keep within the speed limit and adjust your speed to your own abilities.• Always yield to traffic that has the right of way. • The road signs „Vorrang geben“ (“Give way”) and „Halt“ (“Stop”) also apply

to cyclists.• Pedestrians have the right of way on pedestrian crosswalks/zebra crossings.• Be sure to keep a safe distance as you ride past parked cars, as well as from

vehicles ahead of you.• Cycling against the flow of traffic on a one-way street is only allowed if there

is an additional sign which expressly indicates you may do so! On residential one-way streets, cycling against traffic flow is generally permitted.

• When riding a bicycle, you should always use the roadway unless there is a designated bike path, in which case the latter must be used.

• Cycling on autobahns (motorways) and main trunk roads is prohibited.• Cycling side-by-side is allowed on bike paths, biking roads, residential streets,

in areas where pedestrians have priority over traffic and – on other roads with vehicular traffic – during training rides with racing bikes. When riding side-by-side, cyclists must use the right-most lane.

28 Thurnschall Castle Ruins near LessachFounded in about the year 1200, the castle is first chronicled at the beginning of the 13th cen-tury. In 1242, the castle and the entire Lessach region were sold to the Archbishop of Salzburg. During archaeological excavations conducted in 2001, 8m-high remains of the fortified tow-er, as well as castle walls as much as 4m thick were unearthed.

61 The “Sarchen” & Charnel House/Lessach Unique in all of Europe are the wooden grave borders - known as “Sarchen”. Cemetery regulations allow for exclusive use of cast- or wrought-iron crosses, as well as these “Sarchen” of prescribed dimensions. On the east side of St. Paul’s Parish Church you will find the Charnel House, a building about which nu-merous tales are told: The remains of the pious deceased were disinterred by the grave diggers of that time, washed, bleached in the sun and brought to the chapel of the dead, allowing the villagers to venerate their local holy figures. In 1996, a fresco was discovered on the ceiling. Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6484 813, www.lessach.at

62 Medieval Judgment Site on Saling Hill/MariapfarrSaling Hill in Bruckdorf was once a Thingplatz, or judgment site, for the Lungau region, a role that went all the way back to the Early Middle Ages. In 2006, the Village of Bruckdorf restored this historic site true to the original.Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6473 8766, www.mariapfarr.at

63 “Alte Mühle” - Trattner Mill St. MargarethenThis is the last preserved mill along the banks of the Karlsbergbach, having once served as a community mill for several local farmers and re-maining in operation until the 1950’s. Because water levels would rise and fall over the course of the year, this particular mill is known as a “cloud-burst mill”, often forced to stand still for weeks at a time. During such periods, the va-cant structure would frequently attract tramps, fugitives and even lovers. Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6476 812, www.stmargarethen.at

64 “The Holy Family in Pine” Thomatal/SchönfeldAt the Suppanalm, on the way from Bundschuh to Schönfeld, we find figures of the holy fami-ly, St. Leonhard and St. Barbara, carved into standing trunks of stone pine by sculptor, Ernst Adelsberger. In 2001, a splendid chapel was built over this group of figures.Info: Tourist Office T +43 (0)6476 250, www.thomatal.at

Customs &TraditionsAlong with museums, churches, and old cast-les, Lungau also has unique customs: espe-cially impressive are the “Samson” and “Prang-stangen” processions. The splendidly dressed, wooden Samson figures, between 6 and 8 m tall, will wow you at several festival processions during the summer. The Prangstangen poles are garlanded with more than 50,000 flowers and can be admired at annual processions on 24th June in Zederhaus and on 29th June in Muhr. An additional highlight: the “Water Shoot” on the Prebersee (elevation 1,512 m). Every year on the last weekend in August, the marksmen aim and shoot at the reflection of the target in the water. The shot then ricochets off the water and (hopefully) hits the target on the shore. Events calendar: events.lungau.at
