    This 7 km long route is wheelchair- and stroller-friendly as it runs exclusively on paved paths.

    Apart from some small very beautiful distant views, the characteristic of this walk is not the landscape aspect, but, as the name suggests, contemplation. The path passes numerous crosses, especially made of Rechter Blaustein. Six small chapels also line the way. Crosses and chapels remind us that the rural population was once shaped by a special piety.

    Additionally, there are some contemplative sayings meant to encourage reflection. At the end, we visit the St. Ägidius parish church built in 1925. Let's simply take the time for a relaxing and contemplative walk where our soul can find peace.

    Safety information

    For example, between Lisbon and Porto, the infrastructure is not yet well developed. The stages from one accommodation to the next can therefore be long and adventurous.

    Tips and suggestions

    The Café Müller is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

    Roadbook

    We start at the parking lot of the church. Opposite the church, above Café Müller, we go straight ahead for one hundred meters. At the intersection with the Corpus Christi chapel, we turn left and follow the road to the department store. Here we turn right, then the next street left. We follow this until the next right turn. We go straight ahead to the Hepscheider chapel. There we go back 300 m and take the third street left. We follow this to the main road, turn left, and then take the first left again. We follow this road to the second left turn, then again the second left to the Hütelkreuz. There we turn right, then the second right. We follow Kreuzstraße to the third Corpus Christi chapel, then left to the fourth, then straight ahead to the cemetery. We go back 100 meters and follow the first street right to the church.
