Riegersburg path (Riegersburgweg) Breitenfeld
On the Riegersburgweg-Breitenfeld you can reach Riegersburg Castle on foot over the rolling hills and fairytale forests (with a ghost chapel).
The church of the Savior of the World, also called "Salvator-Mundi", built in the 17th century as a plague pilgrimage church, rises majestically in the small village of Breitenfeld on the Rittschein. The stately size and the rich and ornate decoration of the interior indicate the once great importance of the pilgrimage church. In the beginning, it was the horrors of the plague that brought many pilgrims here; today, people are invited to call upon the Savior of the World for help in the manifold needs of our time and to let themselves be touched by the baroque beauty of the church.
After leaving the village of Breitenfeld, you approach Riegersburg Castle by the shortest route. Over gentle hills, fairy-tale forest paths (in the middle of which is the so-called "Ghost Chapel"), after just under 5 km you arrive in the historic village of Riegersburg with its castle, which is over 850 years old. On the route are also culinary highlights and down-to-earth Buschenschänken.
