>>> Walking together – across borders, towards peace <<

Love is the strongest force in the universe – it permeates and connects everything and builds bridges between all people. Pilgrimage creates openness for encounters, breaks down prejudices and fears, and strengthens trust – fundamental trust. In this way, supposed boundaries between peoples and religions can be Love and mutual respect be overcome.

"Go in peace, as a bridge between the peoples."
(Jerusalem Way Spirit)

Two very interesting tours along the "BALKAN Jerusalem Way" are planned for 2025 in cooperation with WELTANSCHAUEN and HEUBERGER Reisen. The Balkan countries are culturally and scenically unique: A PEARL FOR PILGRIMS! Our route runs unspoiled and off the beaten track. Relax in fascinating landscapes from the Danube to the Aegean Sea, and experience encounters with Catholic, Orthodox, and Muslim cultures.
