In the footsteps of Marlen Haushofer
Little Meta, the yellow house by the stream, the mountain meadow - "the most beautiful place in the world". Erni Kirchweger takes us into the world of the writer Marlen Haushofer. We walk along her former school route from Frauenstein church to Marlen's birthplace in Effertsbach, where Erni now lives with her family. Using passages from her books, we feel how Marlen drew strength for her life from her childhood in the freedom of nature. We gain an insight into her family history and her life as an adult woman. If you've got a taste for reading Haushofer, here are three book tips from Erni: "Brav sein ist schwer" (children's book); "Himmel, der nirgendwo endet"; "Die Wand";
This tour is also suitable for school classes: The educational approach to the author, her world and her works is carried out in a playful way according to the age and the group.
Public transportation: From the bus stop at the Frauenstein junction to the Frauenstein pilgrimage church it is 1.8 kilometers along the road, slightly shorter via the hiking trail.
