Please take enough provisions with you. **JOSEF AND THE POWER OF SILENCE - Pilgrimage route** The spiritual St Joseph's Way leads in 3 daily stages through the Attersee - Traunsee Nature Park. From Altmünster on the crystal-clear Traunsee, the pilgrim hikes to Weyregg on the turquoise-blue Attersee in an impressive circular route. On paths of old pilgrimage routes, along green mountain pastures and marvellous panoramic views, the route takes the form of a highly symbolic horizontal "8". Pilgrimage impulses encourage you to see the essentials in life. The eponymous St Joseph accompanies the hiker as a companion to all those seeking peace and quiet and those who are reflective in these fast-moving times. You can obtain the brochure on the St Joseph's Way, as well as offers for spiritual guidance and accommodation options, from the tourist offices of the Traunsee-Almtal holiday region and the Attersee holiday region. ### **Spiritual impulses for the St Joseph's Way** #### **J.......
