Tips from the Community
Even though this small, sacred monument isn't located on the famous Camino de Santiago through northern Spain, perhaps some thoughts from Hape Kerkeling might offer some inspiration in light of the summit cross standing here. The entertainer, famous especially in Germany, walked the Camino Francés in 2001 and kept a diary, which was published under the title "I'm Off Then." In it, he describes his personal encounter with God along the way as follows: "Yesterday, something inside me struck a huge gong. And the sound will resonate. Sooner or later, this path shakes everyone to their core. I know the sound will slowly fade, but if I listen closely, I'll be able to perceive this echo for a very long time."

Just a few meters from the Wexl Arena St. Corona am Wechsel, the Ofnerhof has become a popular meeting place for mountain bikers – including a service area and bicycle storage. But the Ofnerhof is much more than just a cycling accommodation. As an organic farm with cows, chickens, pygmy goats, and cats, it's also a true paradise for children. The Gruber family looks after the well-being of their guests and is happy to share a few tour tips from the region. THE highlight for mountain bikers is just a few minutes' bike ride away: The Wexl Trails offer a carpet of roots, a field of stones, and steep steps. You can also cycle to the Hochwechsel and explore the vast meadows of the Schwaigen. The Feistritztal cycle path is perfect for a family outing. You can find more information and the accommodation's contact details at https://www.wieneralpen.at/radpartner-ofnerhof.

The patron saint of the St. Corona pilgrimage church is St. Corona, who lived around 160 AD in present-day Turkey and is considered an advocate for matters such as help in everyday needs, steadfastness in faith, or the averting of natural disasters. Corona is also the patron saint of businesspeople. In the densely wooded area of present-day St. Corona, Corona was honored by lumberjacks, and thus the present pilgrimage church was finally founded in 1504. The Baroque-style church building is now a listed building and a popular destination for numerous pilgrims.
