Directions:At the beginning, the route goes along the Eisenwurzen cycle path R16 to Waidhofen an der Ybbs. It is best to cycle directly through the "City of Towers" (4 church and 3 city towers), enjoy its beauty, and possibly make a first stop at the parish church. Then continue over the footbridge across the Ybbs (briefly dismount) past the Hotel Schloss an der Eisenstraße, down left to Urltalstraße, and then right towards St. Leonhard. First, cycle 8 km gently uphill to the Putzmühle turnoff and continue right along the stream to the St. Agidi turnoff. Then go 3 km a bit steeper uphill to the small church (1526), where you have a wonderful view of the Ybbstal Alps. From there, continue to St. Leonhard, named after the patron saint of livestock. A small lunch break is recommended at one of the two inns. Afterwards, the path leads 8 km along the panoramic route, repeatedly gently uphill and downhill to the Sonntagberg Basilica - a very imposing building, visible from afar from all sides. There is a magnificent view of the Danube plain and as far as the Mühlviertel and Czech Republic. After a rest at the basilica, a beautiful descent in long curves leads down to the Ybbstalradweg and from there back to Waidhofen. Those who choose a shorter variant take the train for the return journey to Weyer or Gaflenz.

Die Kirche besteht aus einem einschiffigen, vierjochigen, gotischen Langhaus mit Netzrippengewölbe. Das Querschiff ist auf beiden Seiten zwei Joch lang mit 3/8-Schlüssen. Der Südturm stammt im unteren Bereich aus der Gotik. Die kreuzgewölbte Turmkapelle ist mit Stuck von 1745 ausgestattet. Der dreiachsige Chor ruht auf Kreuzrippen- und Sternrippengewölbe.
In der Kirche sind gotische Fresken erhalten. Eines davon - die „Verkündigung des Herrn“ - stammt aus dem ersten Viertel des 14. Jahrhunderts. Im Gewölbe des Langhauses befinden sich die Evangelistensymbole, die in der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts entstanden sind. Beide Fresken wurden 1949 freigelegt und zum Teil stark restauriert.
Die vier Altäre wurden 1532 durch Türkenangriffe fast zerstört. Unter den daraufhin neu errichteten Altären war einer der hl. Anna geweiht. 1775 wurde einen neue Seitenkapelle errichtet und 1881 aus der Turmkapelle eine Lourdesgrotte geschaffen.
Im Jahr 2004 wurde im Zug der Renovierung der Marienaltar durch eine besondere Anordnung der Bänke und einen Kerzentisch aufgewertet und die Lourdesgrotte zu einem "Ort der Versöhnung", einem Beicht- und Aussprachezimmer umgestaltet.
Der Hochaltar entstand 1661 (Christoph Matthäus Degenhart), er zeigt den Pfarrpatron Johannes, den Evangelisten, als Seher auf Patmos zu Füßen Mariens. 1675 und 1755 wurden daran Veränderungen vorgenommen.1847 Abtragung des spätgotischen Presbyteriums und Neubau an das alte Langhaus. Es ist neben der Maximilianskirche in Linz der früheste Bau der Neugotik im Land.
Besonders zu erwähnen ist der Marienaltar, der neben den anderen drei Altären nach dem Türkensturm neu geweiht wurde. Er erhielt 1628 als Hauptplastik eine „Maria mit dem Kinde“ von Hans Spindler. Diese Gnadenbild „Maria Trost“ zu Weyer entwickelte sich zu einer Wallfahrtsstätte. Der Annaaltar zeigt eine Holzplastik der „Anna Selbdritt“ (1535) und Begleitfiguren des hl. Johannes des Täufers und des hl. Leopold.Die Kanzel wurde urkundlich 1711 vom Tischler Bartholomäo Riedelsberger aus Weyer gebaut. Im Langhaus sind einige barocke Statuen, zum Teil aus dem 17. Jahrhundert aufgestellt. In der Kirche sind weiters ein gotischer Taufstein, ein barockes Weihwasserbecken sowie mehrere gotische und barocke Grabsteine.Die Glocke wurde 1711 gegossen.
Die Ausstattungsgeschichte wurde mit neuen Objekten des in Weyer lebenden Bildhauers Alois Lindenbauer erweitert.
Der europaweit renommierte und in Weyer geborene Künstler Siegfried Anzinger gestaltete für die Pfarrkirche Weyer zwei Glasfenster. Er hat je ein Fenster als Frauen- und Männerfenster konzipiert und auch mit dem geläufigen Symbol gekennzeichnet. Jedes Fenster besteht aus sechs Feldern, die zu einer Einheit verbunden sind.
Eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Motive finden Sie auf der Webseite der Pfarre Weyer
Die Pizzeria besticht nicht nur durch leckere Schmankerl, sondern auch ganz besonders durch die nette Gastfreundschaft und das familiäre Flair, das Pizzeria Chef "Deniz Demir" und sein Team in diese Wände zaubern.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
