The 6000 km long European Columbanus Trail passes through nine countries. From Ireland via England, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein to Italy. The Columbanus Trail follows as a memorial path the footsteps of the Irish monks Columbanus († 615) and Gallus († around 640/645) as well as their companions. They and their successors gave significant impulses to Christianity and thus to culture on the European continent from the late 6th century onwards. Around one hundred monastery foundations are associated with Columbanus and his students. Besides a return to the cultural, spiritual, and monastic heritage, it also stands for a message of peace and cohesion in Europe.
