Contemplation Trail between Vöran and Aschl

The trail begins at the end of the artisans’ zone in Vöran/Aschl. From there, it runs through forests and meadows and ends at St. Anna Church in Aschl. For your planning, you can use the artisans’ zone as the starting point and St. Anna Church in Aschl as the destination. This keeps the beginning and end of the trail clearly distinguishable from each other.

The Contemplation Trail is accessible to people with disabilities and well signposted. It is also open and accessible year-round. For your planning in Vöran, both its accessibility and the possible visiting period are therefore clearly established. Its year-round opening also makes the trail relevant for planning a day trip in winter.
