SPIRITUAL HIKING ON THE DONAUSTEIG:

Perg with the Jakobskirche lies on the Jakobsweg Upper Austria north-south / new – a connection from the Czech Republic to the Danube.

The symbol for the Jakobsweg is the shell.
In earlier times, pilgrims, when sent on a penance pilgrimage for indulgence or improvement of their behavior, had to present a shell as proof that they had been to Santiago de Compostela and to the beach of Finesterre (then the end of the world, pilgrims thus had to go as far as they could no further). The shell has two halves, is closed and must be broken open so that the precious pearl comes to light. The treasure is brought from the darkness inside into the light.

On the “Kugelmanderl-Weg” I go within myself and sense within what personal treasures there are to discover in me, that may not yet have been uncovered.

 

Directions:
From Hauptplatz we follow Lebinger Straße north. After about 150 m we turn into Mühlsteinstraße and follow it to Steinbrecherhaus. Shortly after the route leads left downhill to Hinterbachweg and then uphill to a street we cross. Here we meet the Donausteig, which we follow against the direction of the signs. After about 2 km and passing through a woodland, this route branches right off the Donausteig. Past farms in Hainbuchen and the former kaolin mine, we come to the Aisthofener Bach. We cross it and follow the road to the left. In Aisthofen we follow the Donausteig uphill, come to the rest area and walk through Weinzierl. Then we follow the farm road downhill to Zeitling. After a short stretch along Linzer Straße, we turn left (Zeitlinger Berg) and meet the Donausteig again at the cemetery. Following this, we return to the starting point.Tip:
