Whether here with us or at home: clothing in signal colors/with reflectors increases your safety.

Our paths have different surfaces (partly field paths ['grass carpet path'], gravel or asphalt) - please use suitable footwear. Distances between places are on average about 5 km, the paths are generally classified as 'easy'. Please still pay attention to a pace healthy for you. Also take sun protection, drinking reserves, and for safety muesli bars/apple and tape band.

Pay attention to good time planning à sufficient breaks in nature and churches serve your recovery (for body, mind, and soul).

Some walk paths for health or sports reasons or to enjoy nature. Others seek community, and still others spiritual retreat and peace to come to terms with themselves and to converse with God. On the Franziskusweg in the Weinviertel, everything is possible. (Auxiliary Bishop Stephan Turnovszky)

The initiator: The path is NOT the destination. That means, don’t walk the path just to tick it off a list - you would miss out a lot! My recommendation: immerse yourself in it. Take your time! Walk consciously and with all your senses. Pay attention to the many impressions you will encounter. Take time to let them work and resonate. You will see how good that feels.
