Pilgrim walks in Carinthia

N02 Etappe Benediktweg Nord Reichenfels - Gräbern - Wolfsberg Länge: 27,8 km Gehzeit: ca. 8 Stunden

The Way of St. James in Western Styria was opened on 25 July 2010 and is divided into eight stages. These were chosen so that they are manageable for the average hiker. Overnight accommodation is available at the end of each stage. Particularly athletic pilgrims will probably manage a larger daily workload; in the event of bad weather or sightseeing, the mileage will be less. For the most part, the trail leads along existing hiking and pilgrimage routes and partly along asphalted municipal and provincial roads.

N03 Etappe Benediktweg Nord Weißkirchen/Maria Buch - Reichenfels Länge: 27 km Gehzeit: 8 Stunden

The section of the Benedikt's Route through Styria takes us from monastery to monastery - from Admont via Seckau to Carinthia. Scenic highlights are the national park Gesäuse and the crossing of the Niedere Tauern. Nature and culture alternate and small towns are also on the plan to complement the lush nature experiences.

St. Hemma was born around 980 as Countess of Friesach-Zeltschach; charity and philanthropy made her well-known among the population. With her wealth, she also founded the Benedictine monasteries of Gurk and Admont. The latter houses the largest monastery library in the world - and is always worth a visit.
