Spiritual Path, Weiz
Open
Pause and come to rest in the energy city of Weiz - that's exactly what the Spiritual Path offers.
"At the 7 sources of strength" is the motto of this modern pilgrimage trail. Seven sources of strength invite you to pause and reflect, but above all to recharge your batteries.
There are seven stations along the three-kilometre-long path. They are intended to guide the modern pilgrim on the path of personal and spiritual experience. The path is designed so that it can be walked alone or in a group. The walking time is 30 minutes. The path is well signposted. On the signs you will also find concrete suggestions for the content.
