🤔 Why This Pilgrimage?
Long walks confront us with our limits – physical, mental, and emotional. Over time, effort replaces planning, and presence replaces control.
This pilgrimage is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reflect on life’s important questions. We’ll walk at a relaxed pace, share thoughts, and take time for moments of silence – about 30 minutes to an hour – to listen to nature and our inner voices.

- This is a long and demanding route and requires good physical fitness and walking experience.
