Path of mindfulness - spiritual hiking path
Let's get on a walk
The path of mindfulness
A path that makes mindfulness with yourself and the environment tangible through consciously experiencing nature and spiritual impulses.
Walk the path alone or with your friends, at your own pace!
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 encounter places of power, spiritual places, heavenly views and impulses that increase your mindfulness step by step.
The first stage takes us from the House of Mindfulness to the Almtalerhaus in the mountaineering village of Grünau im Almtal. The following day, the trail continues into the Brunnental valley to Steyrling and Klaus, where we 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 on the Bäckerberg. The last stage takes us back to Grünau im Almtal.
