Reichertsheim: Hill Country, Pilgrimage and Panorama Trail

Landscape Between Valley Basin and Hill Country

The old moraine hills are 70 metres high and were formed by glaciers during the Riss glaciation around 200,000 years ago. The valley basin and hill country together shape the municipality’s landscape. These details about their formation place today’s landscape within a long geological history: the hills are not merely a measurement of elevation, but also evidence of the Ice Age that shaped them.

Church History and Pilgrimage

The parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Reichertsheim was first mentioned in 788 in a register of properties belonging to Archbishop Arno of Salzburg and features rich stucco decoration. The date marks an early written mention of the parish church; the stucco decoration adds a distinctive architectural touch. The village of Ramsau is also home to a popular Marian pilgrimage site. The municipality thus brings both a church history reaching far back in time and a religious tradition in Ramsau into focus.

The Panorama Trail and Getting Your Bearings

The Panorama Trail heads east via Ramsau and Reichertsheim, across the hill country and Kirchdorf back to Haag. Its route links several place names with the municipality’s landscape, offering a different perspective from its church heritage. For travel by car, the municipality is about 10 kilometres from the A94 near Heldenstein. You can factor this information into your travel plans alongside the local attractions.
