Places of peace along the Benedict Pilgrimage Route
Anyone travelling along the Benedict Trail in the Krems Valley is looking for more than just accommodation. Between Schlierbach Abbey, Kirchdorf an der Krems and the gentle hills of the 360° Alpenland, hosts open their doors to pilgrims. Here, nature, spirituality and Upper Austrian hospitality combine to create a journey that doesn't end when you start walking - but begins when you arrive.
The Benedict Pilgrimage Trail is inspired by the Benedictine way of life: mindfulness, moderation and community. These values are also reflected in the accommodation. Clean rooms, honest cuisine, a garden to take a deep breath. Sometimes it's just a bench in front of the house, sometimes a view over to the towers of Schlierbach Abbey - it's often the simple things that stay with you.
After a day spent walking through fields, forests and spiritual stations, it's good to come to a halt. Feet can rest, thoughts can linger. And the next morning, the journey continues - invigorated by a region where nature, culture and genuine hospitality go hand in hand.
In this way, the Benedikt pilgrimage route in the 360° Alpine region is not just a route through the Krems Valley, but a journey with encounters that carry.
