Path of mindfulness - spiritual hiking

Grünau im Almtal, Oberösterreich, Österreich

Let's get on a walk

The path of mindfulness

A path that makes mindfulness with oneself and the environment tangible through consciously experiencing nature & spiritual impulses.





The desire to take a break from everyday life takes us on a trail that leads us closer to nature - to ourselves. The path of mindfulness runs through the gentle and equally wild heart of Upper Austria in a 96-kilometre loop. Five stages await participants from the mountaineering village of Grünau im Almtal to Brunnental, Steyrtal and Kremstal.

On the paths along the crystal-clear Alm and Steyr, you get into the flow of walking and are touched by the mountain world. Walking at walking pace through the forests and meadows of the Kremstal gives you time to walk (within yourself). You will encounter places of power, spiritual places, heavenly views and impulses that increase your mindfulness step by step.

This offer is a guided, spiritual hike with Sabina Haslinger.

The first stage takes us from the House of Mindfulness in Grünau im Almtal to the Almtalerhaus in Grünau im Almtal. the next day, the trail continues into the Brunnental valley to Steyrling and on to Klaus, where we spend the night in Klaus Castle. From there, the tour continues to Schlierbach and the SPES Hotel. The penultimate stage then takes us over the Magdalenaberg to Viechtwang, up to the GOMDE - the international Buddhist center in Scharnstein. The last stage takes us back to Grünau im Almtal.
