We begin the ‘Hoch und Heilig’ pilgrim trail at the pilgrimage church in Lavant on the Lavanter Kirchbichl. From there, we set off for the branch church of St. Peter and Paul and continue to the Kreithof along trail no. 11. We continue our pilgrimage to the idyllic Tristacher See lake. Still following trail no. 11 (forest nature trail), we hike down to the chapel on Ulrichsbichl and continue to the village of Amlach, where we stop briefly at the Church of St. Ottilie. In earlier times, Amlach was a popular place of pilgrimage for people with eye problems. We continue upstream until we cross the Drau at the Waldschenke inn towards Leisach and up to the parish church of St. Michael. Via the Römerweg trail, we reach Burgfrieden, passing the Lienzer Klause hermitage. The inscription on the memorial stone commemorates the defensive battle of 1809, when Tyrolean riflemen forced Napoleon's troops to withdraw from Lienz. We reach the village of Thal via the Römerweg trail. From here, it is only a short climb to our destination, St. Korbinian, on a terrace above the Pustertal Valley.
