Sebaldusweg - the path of appreciation
Appreciating what is valuable - a task that is often difficult in everyday life. On a pilgrimage along the picturesque Sebaldusweg trail, you learn to recognise and appreciate your own values and can realign your own spiritual compass.
The heights and hills of the Ennstal National Park region create a wonderfully green landscape, which is ideal for escaping everyday life and at the same time embarking on a journey to yourself.
Passing 7 churches, 2 pilgrimage churches and 30 chapels as well as countless special places of power in the beautiful nature of the foothills of the Alps, you walk step by step through a unique landscape. Covering around 86 kilometres and 2,900 metres in altitude , the Sebaldusweg helps you to appreciate yourself and your fellow human beings more in everyday life.

The way - the stages
One path - many possibilities
The Sebaldusweg trail invites you on a special pilgrimage through the impressive natural landscape of the Enns Valley.
Ideally, you should plan four daily stages: from Großraming via Losenstein to Laussa, from there on to Maria Neustift on the second day. The third day takes you to Gaflenz, from where you start on the fourth day and then head to Weyer via the special place of power on the Heiligenstein, before returning to the starting point, for the most part alongside the emerald-green Enns.
Along the way, you can expect spiritual places of power that invite you to pause for a moment, as well as seven churches, two pilgrimage churches, 30 chapels and numerous natural treasures that will enrich your journey.
The start is flexible: you can start at any point along the route and personalise your pilgrimage. For more ambitious pilgrims, there is a variant with three daily stages.

Why the "path of appreciation"?
We live in a world in which the longing for positive affection, love and appreciation is growing more and more. Genuine appreciation works wonders! It develops creativity, motivation and the ability to build relationships. Practical impulses along the way help us to adopt an appreciative attitude ourselves. We recognise that appreciation is more than politeness or friendliness. It is an inner attitude of attention, respect and mindfulness that enables us to treat others with goodwill. In this way, we become a blessing for our fellow human beings. The positive feedback in turn strengthens our self-confidence and our charisma, thus completing the positive cycle of "appreciation in everyday life"!
The communities - The topics
Service
Interviews on the topic of appreciation
A project of the BBS Weyer
The path of appreciation - this topic was addressed by pupils in a project. They conducted interviews with people from professions that sometimes receive little appreciation. Along the way, these interviews are called up from signs with QR codes and encourage pilgrims to reflect. The approximately two-minute interviews provide interesting suggestions and views on the different perspectives of different people on the topic of appreciation.
If you would like to take a closer look at the topic of appreciation before the pilgrimage, you can listen to the interviews in advance below.
