Along the approximately 3 km-long Legend Trail from St. Lorenzen, ten lovingly designed information panels tell of mysterious tales and ancient traditions.
The village of St. Lorenzen boasts a particularly rich treasure chest of legends, recounting mysterious events, extraordinary characters and ancient traditions. To make these stories accessible to a wider audience, the approximately three-kilometre-long Legend Trail was created. It is based on the collection of legends by Johann A. Heyl, a leading figure in Tyrolean folklore research.
Along the trail, ten stations invite visitors to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of local legends. The themed trail is given a special character by the lovingly designed illustrated panels, which were created by pupils from the primary school. Under the creative and artistic guidance of Luisa Kirchler, the children engaged deeply with the individual tales and captured their imaginations in expressive pictures. In this way, the Legends Trail combines regional traditions with children’s imagination, bringing a valuable piece of local cultural history to life in a vivid and engaging manner.
The Sagenweg trail can possibly be combined with the Archaeological Panorama Trail via the hill "Sonnenburger Kopf".
As the hiking trails can be icy, it is advisable to use microspikes.
