🤔 Why This Hike?
This pilgrimage is not about performance or distance, but about being present. As we walk, we’ll gently and without pressure explore questions like:

• How did I arrive in this new year?
• What do I want to leave behind?
• Where do I want to move toward?

This pilgrimage is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reflect on life’s important questions. We’ll walk at a relaxed pace, share thoughts, and take time for moments of silence – about 30 minutes to an hour– to listen to nature and our inner voices.

🔔 What to know & bring

• It’s winter, dress for the season and the weather. Important: hiking or running shoes, warm layered clothing, hat and gloves.
• Bring enough food and water for the whole day, as we won’t stop anywhere to buy snacks or drinks. A thermos with hot tea or coffee is highly recommended!
• Don’t forget your public transport ticket for the way there and back.
• There may be an option for a quick winter dip. If you’d like to try it, bring swimwear, a towel and extra clothes to warm up afterwards.
