Pilgrimages in Steyr and the National Park region

Pilgrimage is the same in all world religions: people set out on foot to connect with their God, with nature or with themselves.

Pilgrimage has become a major focus for people in recent years. It seems that in an increasingly hectic age, the longing for simplicity, tranquillity and inner contemplation is growing ever stronger. Slowing down, returning to the essentials, broadening your horizons and discovering new potential within yourself - pilgrimages offer all of these experiences. Nature is a place of power, teacher, inspiration and sometimes also a great challenge.

Steyr and the Kalkalpen National Park region, with its magical natural sites, offer the ideal setting for pilgrimage experiences. The local mountain world offers wonderful natural experiences that amaze people.

Whether you walk through the region on foot or explore it on a cycling pilgrimage - there is something to suit every pilgrim in our region.
