Pilgrimaging is more than walking in nature; it is a journey inward, a conscious encounter with yourself. Therefore, it can be meaningful to walk the paths to the eight selected locations in the spa park in silence. This way, you can completely stay with yourself, enjoy the carefully designed nature in the spa park, and let it have a healing effect on you. Each of the 8 stops invites you to linger with a thematic suggestion, a "soul theme." Simply let the respective "soul theme" work within you. For example, the first stop can facilitate "arriving" in the here and now: "What moves me on this day, in this phase of life? How do I perceive myself? Which inner longing moves me?" Whether you are alone or guided: The pilgrim route aims to be a healing interruption of your daily routine and can become a touching, often spiritual experience.

Author’s recommendation

Let yourself be accompanied by short audio recordings with impulses and food for thought as you explore the Small Pilgrim Route. You can play the recordings via the "Outdooractive" app.
