The Josefweg is a spiritual circular route from Lake Traunsee to Lake Attersee and back in 3 daily stages. Please take enough provisions with you.
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.
