Pilgrimage and pilgrims. In Tyrol
Austria and Tyrol are home to a number of well-known pilgrimage sites that are well worth a visit. The Tyrolean pilgrimage churches in particular are incomparable in terms of art history and culture. Above all, it is the Marian pilgrimage sites, such as Absam, that people are particularly fond of. In search of God or for other reasons, pilgrimages and pilgrimages are becoming increasingly popular. Encounters and exchanges, pausing and slowing down play an important role on a spiritual journey.
However, a distinction must be made between pilgrimage and pilgrimage. What do you do on a pilgrimage and what do you do on a pilgrimage? Pilgrimages usually involve setting off on foot on a long journey to a specific place. During the walk, you try to concentrate on the reason for your pilgrimage. Well-known pilgrimage routes that lead through the Hall-Wattens region include, for example
Pilgrimage routes in Tyrol

- The Petrus Canisius pilgrimage - a one-day pilgrimage from Hall to Innsbruck. They are often walked with priestly accompaniment and spiritual impulses.
- The contemplation trail leads from Absam to Gnadenwald to St. Martin's Monastery. With its nine stations, it invites you to rest and pause for a moment.
Depending on the pilgrimage route, pilgrimages are just as suitable for beginners as they are for advanced pilgrimage fans.
A pilgrimage, on the other hand, focuses much more on the Christian religious aspect. Together with your family or a group, you travel to the pilgrimage churches in order to pray to God or certain saints.
