The wooden bridge over the Lieser River at this point has a few steps on the side (street) opposite the villa. There's no ramp (side ramp). Getting up there with a heavy e-bike is almost impossible without extra effort (removing batteries, taking off luggage, etc.). Even then, you'd probably have to use the e-bike push assist, and we haven't tried how well that works. Conclusion: Don't plan an e-bike route towards the villa that includes this bridge. PS: The opposite direction, from the villa across the Lisa River to the street, could work, but that would also be a "heavy" undertaking in my opinion. PPS: Simply carry bio-bikes up on your shoulder 😊

The patronage of the Klausen pilgrimage church, “Visitation of Mary (or in another spelling: Mariä)” refers to one of the many memorial days or festivals in honor of the Mother of God Mary. The term “Visitation” – which has negative connotations in our current way of expression or thinking – refers in the Bible to Mary’s visit to her relative Elizabeth. She was married to Zacharias and the marriage remained childless, which was a social stigma at the time. But despite her advanced age, she became pregnant, which the Archangel Gabriel told Mary when he brought her the message that she herself would give birth to the Son of God, Jesus. The son of Elizabeth and Zacharias was John, nicknamed “the Baptist,” who is considered the forerunner/pioneer of Jesus Christ.
