>>> 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.

Description

Sample of JERUSALEM WAY stamp in Austria Sample of JERUSALEM WAY stamp in Austria

On our first stage in Austria we leave the Rhine valley and turn southeast towards the Arlberg pass. However, since the valley floor with channeled stream beds, roads and highways, a railway line and of course also settlements and occasionally some agriculture is already pretty busy, our slightly hilly hiking or pilgrimage route runs on our left side on the flanks of the Dünserberg and later the Thuringian Mountain. So we have a little more view and a little less traffic. On this route we also come through a number of smaller towns and settlements. This stage ends at the Bludenz train station.

 

Note regarding pilgrim stamps: There are various stamps on the way through Austria, be it from hostels, monasteries, parishes, tourist information, inns, ... And there are special JERUSALEM WAY pilgrim stamps with the dove of peace! See the attached photo, at least we should have this stamp in our passport when we have crossed all of Austria.
