Meditative pilgrimage hike in the Bliesgau biosphere reserve to the Wörschweiler monastery ruins

Summer hike

As part of the European model project "Starry Path /Chemin des étoiles", the monastery ruins of the former Cistercian abbey of Wörschweiler were also recorded as an important point of reference. The site is reminiscent of the special spirit of St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The knowledge of this "genius loci" is more relevant today than ever and makes the monastery ruins a place where times come together and people are inspired for a new awareness to preserve our unique habitat. The meditative summer hike traces this special spirit in the present and leads over approx. 12 km (medium difficulty with inclines) from the starting point of the Roman Museum in Schwarzenacker to the Wörschweiler monastery ruins and on to Gutenbrunn Castle and back.

Note: The event is only aimed at experienced participants in very good physical condition. Bring your own rucksack provisions and make sure you wear good shoes and rainwear if necessary.

Meeting point: parking lot Roman Museum Schwarzenacker, duration approx. 7 hours.

Registration required by 16.07.2026.
