Granite pilgrimage and yoga

One step after the other, your head feels light. Your thoughts drift by like the picturesque landscape of the Mühlviertel with its rolling hills. Pilgrimage means being close to yourself and surrounded by nature. Yoga deepens your experience of inner balance. Set off on your journey and discover deep peace and serenity. Granite characterises the history of the Mühlviertel and also its landscape: wooded hills, streams, fields and wild meadows. And again and again a panorama that leaves you marvelling. It is also these views on the pilgrimage route that carry all thoughts about everyday life into the distance. Going on a granite pilgrimage means coming closer to yourself. Walking becomes a practice of meditation. And when you roll out your yoga mat at the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Centre in the late afternoon, it simply feels good to gently move your body, bring length to your muscles and let go of everything.

Your days begin with an indulgent breakfast. A shuttle then takes you to the starting point of each day's stage and picks you up again at the day's destination. This allows you to hike with a light rucksack. Along the way, you can be on your own or together with your fellow travellers - it's up to you. Back at the 800-year-old Kleebauer Hof, lunch and free time await you. Relax in the Swiss stone pine sauna and enjoy the natural bathing pond with far-reaching views. If you feel like it, you can take part in the open yoga programme in the late afternoon. 

The programme is suitable for pilgrimage enthusiasts and beginners who want to hike between 16 and 20 kilometres a day in the hilly Mühlviertel region.
