Path of mindfulness - spiritual hiking path
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.
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 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 at Klaus Castle. From there, the tour continues to Schlierbach to 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.
