HEART OF EUROPE_SWITZERLAND & AUSTRIA
Hiking & culture from the French border in Geneva through all of Switzerland and Austria to the federal capital Vienna. This is the third of a total of seven stages on the international peace and culture route between Spain and the Holy Land! Discover with us the great cultural and natural highlights, compact and with a lot of peace! Personally selected hotels, monasteries and pilgrimage accommodations, constant travel companions from the Jerusalemweg team and our coach provide the perfect setting for this.
This stage on the Jerusalem Trail is truly unique between Spain and the Holy Land: it leads us through the entire Alps and the heart of Europe! We start in France and cross the border into Switzerland on foot at Geneva, cross the whole of Switzerland, dreamy mountain and lake landscapes await us, hike past the myths of the Maria Einsiedeln Monastery, cross the Arlberg in Austria and discover the extremely attractive cultural attractions and historical highlights of the Alpine country from west to east to the capital city of Vienna. Finally, in St. Stephen's Cathedral we even receive the original Jerusalemweg stamp with dove of peace for our pilgrim pass, a unique journey is coming to an end here in the heart of Europe!
