Nice walk starting from the main square Mariazell via Schießstattgasse to Buschniggweg with great views.
From the Buschniggweg you have a beautiful view of the basilica and the surrounding mountains.

The Buschniggweg is one of the top 10 Mariazeller AUGENblicken: Treat yourself to your personal time out and enjoy the unique panorama at the vantage points of the Mariazeller AUGENblicke. There is time to catch your breath and let your gaze wander into the distance on the panoramic spots of Mariazell.
