The Sr. Cyrilus path leads from Bressanone through the Europa Meditation Path to St. Cyril's Chapel. 1238 this church was first mentioned. 1654 the Romanesque nave was extended with a choir. The interior is baroque today in large part, but there are also some medieval frescoes preserved. The Europa Meditation Path was established in 1993. The eight reflection points are dedicated to Christian Europe and his saints.

Further information and useful links

The St. Cyrillusweg starts at the Brixen/Bressanone central bus station near the high school below the car park in Dantestraße street. From there, head up Burgfriedengasse lane and cross the highway, past the Südtiroler Kinderdorf and over the Talhofer Graben ditch. After the bridge turn right off the tarred road and follow the Europa-Besinnungsweg to St. Cyrillus-Kirchlein. Continue along the trail past the Breitwieserhof farm down to the Zimmermannhof farm before ascending up the tar road to Pinzagen/Pinzago. Turn left after entering the village and head southeast along trail no. 20A. Above the Gummererhof farm continue north through the forest until you reach Feldthurnerstraße street before descending back to Brixen.

Auf einem ruhigen Waldhügel (823 m) liegt das dem Heiligen Cyrill geweihte Kirchlein. Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde es im Jahr 1238 und 1654 wurde das romanische Langhaus mit einem Chorraum verlängert. Das Langhaus weist eine bemalte Holzdecke auf, einen Triumphbogen sowie Rundbogenfenster und ein Kreuzgratgewölbe. Beachtenswert sind die Fresken an der Außenfassade und im Innenraum.
