We were a group of about 20 pilgrims with participants from Germany, Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Vienna and Burgenland and have crossed all of Austria from Vorarlberg to Burgenland (about 800 km) on the international peace and culture trail. The last stage brought us to Halbturn Castle / Hungarian border.

We were able to experience many beautiful moments and warm encounters, combined with mutual exchange and above all with a lot of joy and friendship! Thanks to all.
