class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pilgrimage Trails in the Salzburger Saalachtal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many pilgrimage trails in the Salzburger Saalachtal. One of these is the well-known Way of St. James. With its destination in faraway Santiago de Compestela in Spain, the \u201cCamino\u201d runs along the Saalach via Unken to Lofer and then on into Tyrol. Other pilgrimage routes are the so-called \u201cMarienwege\u201d and the \u201cPinzgauer Marienwege\u201d. Here there are several possibilities for making a detour to Maria Kirchental.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magical Maria Kirchental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like to spend a couple of extra hours in the Salzburger Saalachtal to get to know the region better, then you must pay a visit to Maria Kirchental, the pilgrimage place at 880 metres.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Maria Plain just outside the city of Salzburg, this high valley is certainly one of the most-visited pilgrimage churches in the province of Salzburg. Pilgrims have been coming here from Tyrol, Salzburg and even Bavaria for over 300 years to visit the \u201cmountain crystal among pilgrimage churches\u201d, as the former Bishop Eder so aptly described this place. This Baroque jewel was designed by the legendary Johannes Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and was consecrated in 1701. The double-towered, two-storey east facade and the expanse of the interior space are particularly impressive. The church has one of the best-known and most significant collections of votive images in Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peaceful Hours in the \u201cHaus der Besinnung\u201c<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maria Kirchental is one of the healing spaces of the archdiocese of Salzburg, along with eight other places. The Herz-Jesu-Missionare (Sacred Heart Missionaries), along with the Missionarinnen Christi (Missionaries of Christ) chose this particular place of power to run their House of Reflection.  They say, \u201cDiscovering the uniqueness of each person and giving them space is of great concern to us, as well as the ever new search for a modern spirituality and a sustainable lifestyle.\u201c At the moment three sisters and two priests live permanently in the high valley, take care of the spiritual welfare of the pilgrims and provide spiritual guidance in the form of days of reflection, retreats, bible weeks and meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maria-kirchental.at\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" type=\"URL\" id=\"http:\/\/www.maria-kirchental.at\/home\/\">The pilgrimage church is waiting for you<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The house of the reflection is waiting for you<\/h3>\n\n\n \r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n\t#pw-teaserreihe-block_6142754b80a28 {\r\n\t\t\/* Add styles that use ACF values here *\/\r\n\t}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"pw-teaserreihe-block_6142754b80a28\" class=\"block-pw-teaserreihe\">\r\n\t<div id=\"teaserreihe\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/de\/jakobsweg-salzburgerland\/\"\r\n                       target=\"_blank\"\r\n                       class=\"teaser_inhalt page\"\r\n\r\n                       title=\"Jakobsweg\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jakobsweg_karte-1102x658-1-388x320.jpg\" class=\"attachment-teaser size-teaser\" alt=\"jakobsweg karte x\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"textbanner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"teaser_inhalt_ue\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJakobsweg\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinzgauer-marienweg.at\/\"\r\n                       target=\"_blank\"\r\n                       class=\"teaser_inhalt page\"\r\n\r\n                       title=\"Pinzgauer Marienwege\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-murnauer-scharte-2-scaled-388x320.jpg\" class=\"attachment-teaser size-teaser\" alt=\"murnauer scharte scaled\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"textbanner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"teaser_inhalt_ue\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPinzgauer Marienwege\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/euregio-marienwege.eu\/\"\r\n                       target=\"_blank\"\r\n                       class=\"teaser_inhalt page\"\r\n\r\n                       title=\"Euregio Marienwege\">\r\n\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lofer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/euregio-marienweg-karte-388x320.jpg\" class=\"attachment-teaser size-teaser\" alt=\"euregio marienweg karte\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n                        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"textbanner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"teaser_inhalt_ue\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEuregio Marienwege\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many ways lead to God \u2013 one of them over the mountains Pilgrimage is in the nature of us humans.Pack your rucksack, put on sturdy shoes and off you go \u2013 set off and be on the way.
