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 longing to take a break from everyday life takes us on a path 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-kilometer loop. Five stages await participants from the mountaineering village of Grünau im Almtal to the Brunnental, Steyrtal and Kremstal valleys.

On the paths along the crystal-clear Alm and Steyr rivers, 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 Krems Valley 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.

On the first day, we arrive at the House of Mindfulness in Grünau im Almtal. On the second day, the first stage leads from the House of Mindfulness to the Almtalerhaus in the mountaineering village of Grünau im Almtal. The next day, the trail continues into the Brunnental valley to Steyrling and on to Klaus, where you will spend the night at Klaus Castle. From there, the tour continues to Schlierbach and the SPES Hotel. The penultimate stage then leads 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.
