Sebaldustour -
Cycle pilgrimage in 7 stages
On the way to yourself
Be on the move and find yourself - the Sebaldusweg combines cycling pilgrimages with nature experiences. You cycle through the valleys around the Kalkalpen National Park, through the Eisenwurzen to the Mostviertel. Churches, small mountain chapels and quiet places of power accompany you along the way and invite you to pause for a moment.
Whether alone or in a group: this star-shaped tour thrives on the alternation of pedalling and resting. Take a deep breath, organise your thoughts, drink water - and continue. The impulses of the stages have a lasting effect and provide clarity and inner peace.
Time out & refreshments
Sacred buildings offer coolness and tranquillity. Inns and guesthouses invite you to take a break and savour regional cuisine. The Sebaldusweg combines exercise, contemplation and hospitality - in the heart of Upper Austria, where the power of nature, culture and joie de vivre come together. The Sebaldus tour package offers additional service and comfort.

St Sebald of Nuremberg on the Heiligenstein
The namesake of the Sebaldus Tour
According to legend, Sebald was a miracle-working hermit who found his way to the Heiligenstein on his pilgrimage from Rome to Nuremberg, where he lived in his cave for 15 years. His canonisation in 1425 led to a strong upswing in pilgrimage. The chapel built in his honour in 1413 was converted into a church around 1470.
People also like to visit the chapel behind the church and the rock niche with the stone figure of St Sebald. People pray here for a good partnership or protection and blessing for their families.
