Benedikt-Pilgerweg Oberösterreich

The Benedict Trail in Upper Austria leads from monastery to monastery from Spital am Pyhrn to Passau. On the 350-kilometre pilgrimage trail, you pass 9 magnificent monasteries as well as many pilgrimage churches and sacred buildings.
More and more people are seeking peace and quiet on holiday. They want to get away from the stress of everyday life and consciously decide to go on a pilgrimage. St Benedict's most important basic rule was: pray, work and educate yourself. The varied route is a sensual reflection of Benedictine spirituality. Along the way, you can visit the mighty abbeys in Schlierbach, Kremsmünster, St. Florian, Lambach, Steinerkirchen, Wilhering and Engelhartszell. They are home to priceless art treasures and await pilgrims with beautifully tended gardens, sacred organ music and delicious home-made products such as cheese, liqueurs and beers. The route from Spital am Pyhrn to Passau is very well signposted and can also be walked in the opposite direction, i.e. from Passau. Come to rest and recharge your batteries in the footsteps of St Benedict.
