    The pilgrimage church Maria Hilf, starting point of the contemplation path, invites you to rest with its spiritual atmosphere. The circular hiking trail meanders gently through green meadows and forests of Gries, past the Way of the Cross stations to the newly built viewing platform. From there a wonderful view opens onto the picturesque mountain village, framed by the majestic peaks of the Stubai Alps such as the Schrankogel and the Mutterberg lake peak. The path then leads gently downhill to the collegiate chapel.

    How do you find your treasure? Along the marked route there are small caches (treasure boxes). Each cache contains secret letters. Enter all letters in your treasure map. Only those who have collected all letters can form the solution word. With this solution word you can pick up a gift at the Längenfeld information point! (For children).
