Hans Knesl, born in Bad Pirawarth in 1905, he was originally a stonemason before graduating in 1924 from sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Almost all of Knesl's sculptures are cast in concrete. His sculptures are in the former spa park of Bad Pirawarth. You will also find a drinking fountain here. In the annex of the old Kurhaus there is a documentation and a historical insight of the former spa. It continues and so we come to the new, privately run spa center, at the end of the town. Continue to follow the R5, on which three more cycle paths now run in parallel (the R91, the Zweigelt cycle path and the Traminer cycle path). Pass oil fields and reach Groß Schweinbarth.

Then it goes over the L3096 to Schrick. Cross the A5 and on the teacher's path I come into town. Here it goes left towards the sports field. Past the sports field and after about 800m I keep right on a dirt road. This leads up to the L16. Turn left again, I drive around 500m on this until it goes down right on a narrow asphalt belt to Obersulz. In Obersulz I orientate myself on the parish church. I pass this single-nave early baroque wall pillar church from the years 1671/72 and I search for the driveway to the Mariahilf warrior chapel. I reach this via the Wachtberg. The chapel was started by the merchant Johann Kerbler as a thank you for the recovery of one of his daughters. However, the chapel was completed by brick owner Franz Baumgartner in 1922. The inauguration took place on June 1, 1924. Here I linger briefly and enjoy the view. Then it goes back down to town. Here I drive up the cellar lane towards Nexing.
